The SutureTag looping stitch creates a running ripstop to reinforce the tendon with minimal passes through the tissue. This novel stitch is lower profile, faster to complete, and stronger than a typical Krackow repair stitch. The SutureTag splits into two #2 sutures that can be easily incorporated into the FiberTak button repair technique.1

SutureTape, the upgraded version of FiberWire® suture, is the next generation in suture technology. Compared to FiberWire suture, flat-braided SutureTape is similar in strength and more resistant to tissue pull-through.1 It offers improved handling and knot security with smaller comparable knot stacks. SutureTape is available in 0.9 mm, 1.3 mm, and 1.7 mm sizes and in multiple colors, patterns, and needle options.
