Sports Medicine Boutique Sutures Series – Chapter 1

UHMWPE Braided Conical Sutures

At MZF4 Medical, innovation is not only about new products — it is about redefining how they are manufactured. Following the introduction of our Round2Tape2Round UHMWPE Precut & Tipped Suture new patented process, our Process Engineering, R&D and Innovation teams has now developed a new patented, fully automated manufacturing machine capable of producing a wide portfolio of boutique sutures for sports medicine.

This programmable process allows up to six different patterns to be executed simultaneously without stopping the braiding machine, ensuring unmatched precision, repeatability and efficiency. Today, we introduce our UHMWPE Braided Conical Suture, built on a new mass-preservation concept that delivers:

• ~50% higher linear and knot strength vs. conventional technologies
• Unprecedented precision in PPI control and transition points
• A truly innovative and flexible conical architecture
• Dimensional flexibility up to 2 USP sizes under

The result is a suture that is unique, stronger, more precise, and less invasive, supporting advanced sports medicine repair techniques. Next week, we will present: Variable Programming UHMWPE Boutique Sutures… Stay tuned!
