The Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire 2-0 Suture is a state-of-the-art, high-strength, braided polyblend suture designed for a wide range of orthopedic surgical applications. Renowned for its superior tensile strength, excellent handling characteristics, and unmatched knot security, FiberWire has become the suture of choice for many orthopedic surgeons worldwide. The AR-7220 model features a 2-0 suture size, making it ideal for delicate procedures where precision and control are paramount. 

Key Features and Benefits

Superior Tensile Strength
The Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire Suture is crafted from a unique polyblend material that combines ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with other high-performance fibers. This composition provides the suture with exceptional tensile strength, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of orthopedic procedures without compromising on performance. The superior strength of FiberWire makes it particularly well-suited for applications that require long-lasting tissue approximation and fixation, such as tendon and ligament repairs, where the suture must endure significant biomechanical forces.

Unmatched Knot Security
Knot security is a critical factor in the success of any surgical suture, and the Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire excels in this area. The suture's braided construction and polyblend material provide a secure knot that resists slipping and loosening over time. This feature is particularly important in orthopedic surgery, where the stability of the suture knot can directly impact the healing process and the overall outcome of the procedure. Surgeons can trust FiberWire to maintain its knot integrity even under the most demanding conditions, reducing the risk of post-operative complications.

Excellent Handling and Flexibility
The AR-7220 FiberWire Suture offers exceptional handling characteristics, making it easy for surgeons to manipulate and position the suture during surgery. The suture's smooth texture allows for effortless passage through tissue with minimal drag, reducing tissue trauma and promoting faster healing. Additionally, the suture's flexibility ensures that it conforms well to the contours of the tissue, allowing for precise placement and secure knotting. The combination of handling ease and flexibility makes FiberWire an ideal choice for complex orthopedic procedures where precision is essential.

T-13 Needle for Precise Suturing
The Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire Suture comes pre-attached to a T-13 needle, which is specifically designed for orthopedic applications. The T-13 needle is known for its sharpness, durability, and optimal curvature, allowing for precise and controlled suturing in various tissue types. The needle's design minimizes the risk of tissue damage while ensuring that the suture is securely anchored in place. The combination of FiberWire's superior suture material and the T-13 needle's precision makes this product a reliable choice for a wide range of surgical procedures.

Vibrant Blue Color for Enhanced Visibility
In the fast-paced environment of the operating room, visibility is crucial. The Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire Suture is colored in a vibrant blue, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding tissue, making it easier for surgeons to see the suture during placement and knotting. This enhanced visibility reduces the likelihood of errors and ensures that the suture is positioned accurately, contributing to the overall success of the procedure.

Versatile 18-Inch Length
The 18-inch length of the Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire Suture provides ample material for a variety of suturing techniques, allowing surgeons to tailor their approach to the specific needs of the patient and the procedure. This length is particularly useful in procedures that require multiple passes or complex knotting techniques, providing the flexibility needed to achieve optimal results. Whether used in open surgery or minimally invasive procedures, the 18-inch FiberWire offers the versatility required to meet the demands of modern orthopedic surgery.

Clinical Applications

The Arthrex AR-7220 FiberWire Suture is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of orthopedic surgical procedures, including:
