For Soft Tissue Reinforcement

Poly-Tapes are single-thickness open weave mesh implants that are available in various widths (ranging from 5-30 mm) and lengths (ranging from 500-800 mm).

  • Strong: System Strength 1014 N

  • Low stretch under cyclic tension

INDICATIONS

The Poly-Tape Soft Tissue Reinforcement Device is a single-use device intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during tendon and ligament
repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, spring ligament, deltoid ligament, ulnar collateral ligament or other tendons or extra-articular ligaments.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Poly-Tapes are non-absorbable, sterile, poly (ethylene terephthalate) sutures. They are prepared from fibers of high-molecular-weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. Poly-Tape is manufactured with an open weave construct which integrates well with a patient’s tissue. The open weave will retain its shape and resist elongation in either longitudinal or latitudinal directions.

Poly-Tapes differ from USP Sutures in being in the form of woven tapes and in exceeding all USP sizes.

Features and Benefits

  • Lowers the requirement to harvest a soft tissue graft to reconstruct the ligament or tendon; reduces morbidity
  • Open weave structure acts as a scaffold, for tissue ingrowth
  • Made from woven multifilament high tenacity polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) fibre, providing a soft flexible structure with high strength
  • Large range of sizes available to suit varying patient anatomy
  • Heat sealed ends prevent fraying and facilitate easier passage through bone tunnels and soft tissue
  • Compatible with the FastLok™ fixation device

Contraindications

  • Do not use these devices in patients with known hypersensitivity to implant materials. If the patient is suspected of having any foreign body sensitivity, appropriate tests should be made prior to implantation.
  • Do not use these devices in patients with infections or any structural or pathological condition of the bone or soft tissue that would be expected to impair healing or prevent secure fixation. Bone quality should be assessed prior to surgery.
  • Do not use these devices in patients for whom the implantation is intended to be non-permanent since they integrate well with the patient’s tissue.
  • Do not use these devices in procedures which bridge, disturb, or disrupt the growth plate in immature patients since they will not elongate as the patient grows.
  • Do not use these devices with intra-articular ligaments, such as ACL.
  • Do not use these devices in spinal surgery.
  • These devices are not intended to provide the sole means of reconstruction.
