Arthrex AR-7200 FiberWire #2 Blue Suture – Non-Absorbable UHMWPE, 38″ with 26.5 mm Tapered Needle

Arthrex AR-7200 FiberWire® #2 Suture | 26.5mm T-5 Taper | 38" Blue | BX/12

The Arthrex AR-7200 FiberWire® is the industry standard for high-demand orthopedic reconstruction. This Size #2 (5 metric) suture is specifically engineered for procedures where traditional polyester or silk sutures may fail under physiological loads. It is a clinical staple for rotator cuff repair, Achilles tendon reconstruction, and ACL/PCL soft-tissue fixation.

Constructed with a multi-strand, long-chain Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) core and a braided polyester/UHMWPE jacket, FiberWire® provides a tensile strength significantly higher than standard synthetic sutures. This composition ensures that the suture resists "creep" and breakage during the aggressive rehabilitation protocols common in modern sports medicine.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior Tensile Strength: The UHMWPE core provides "steel-like" strength in a flexible, braided format. This allows for smaller drill holes and more secure tissue-to-bone opposition without the bulk of thicker materials.

• T-5 Taper Needle Precision: The 26.5mm T-5 needle features a half-circle curvature and a tapered point. This design is optimized for "spreading" soft tissue fibers rather than cutting them, which is critical when suturing through delicate tendons or ligaments to prevent tear-through.

• Exceptional Abrasion Resistance: FiberWire® is virtually immune to the fraying or "sawing" effect often seen when sutures are passed through bone tunnels or around metal anchors.

• Vibrant Blue Visibility: The deep blue hue provides an excellent visual reference against white tendons and red vascularized tissue, simplifying suture management in the "tangled" environment of a complex shoulder or knee repair.

• Biocompatible & Non-Absorbable: As a permanent suture, FiberWire® provides indefinite support for soft-tissue-to-bone healing, ensuring the repair remains intact throughout the entire remodeling phase.
