Arthrex AR-7223SM FiberWire Blue Suture with Small Meniscus Needles each

Arthrex AR-7223SM 2-0 Blue FiberWire Suture with (2) Small Meniscus Needles

The Arthrex AR-7223SM is the gold standard for high-strength meniscal preservation. This specialized repair suture features 2-0 FiberWire, a multi-strand, long-chain polyethylene core with a braided polyester jacket. This construction provides significantly higher tensile strength and knot security than traditional silk or Ethibond, making it ideal for the high-stress environment of the knee joint. The suture is pre-loaded with two small, low-profile stainless-steel needles, specifically designed for the Inside-Out meniscal repair technique.

The small needle geometry is optimized for navigating the narrow joint space between the femoral condyle and the tibial plateau, allowing for accurate vertical or horizontal mattress stitching of longitudinal, bucket-handle, or radial tears. The vibrant blue color ensures maximum visibility against the white fibrocartilage of the meniscus, even in the presence of synovial fluid or minor bleeding.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Unmatched Knot Security: FiberWire’s unique braid construction virtually eliminates knot slippage, ensuring the repair remains stable during the critical early phases of biological healing.

• Low-Profile Anatomy: The small needles minimize the "track" left in the meniscus, reducing iatrogenic tissue trauma and preserving the structural integrity of the meniscal rim.

• Abrasion Resistance: Designed to withstand the repetitive gliding motion within the joint, FiberWire resists fraying against bone or cartilage surfaces.

• Streamlined Workflow: The dual-needle swaged design eliminates the need for intraoperative threading, reducing "needle-down" time and simplifying the passage of sutures through meniscal repair cannulas.
