Suture Wires are a range of Orthopedic Surgical Wires designed for use in orthopedic surgical applications requiring Wire Fixation or Cerclage Techniques according to the approved indications and surgical technique.
Surgical Suture Wires are used as flexible fixation elements that can be shaped and applied according to the required Fixation Construct. They may be used in applications where the surgeon determines that Wire-Based Bone Fixation or Cerclage Support is required, subject to the applicable product instructions for use.
According to the provided data, the product family is listed under the general reference:
Cat. No.: AMS 700.003
The range is available in seven different Wire Gauges: 16 SWG, 18 SWG, 20 SWG, 22 SWG, 24 SWG, 26 SWG, and 28 SWG, providing a progressive range of Wire Gauge options for selection according to procedural requirements, Bone Anatomy, and the selected Fixation Technique.
Each Gauge carries an individual Cat. No. and GTIN Number, facilitating Product Identification, Traceability, Procurement, Surgical Inventory Management, and Stock Control.
Product Description
