DYNEEMA PURITY® FIBER FOR ORTHOPEDIC SUTURES SURPASSES POLYESTER IN PROMOTING HEALING
URMOND (NL), 13 September, 2007 – DSM Dyneema today announced that Dyneema Purity®, its high-performance specialty polyethylene fiber developed specifically for medical applications, has been shown to promote better tissue formation than traditional polyester in orthopedic suture applications. In independent testing by NAMSA’s Biomatech Lab, braids made of Dyneema Purity® exhibited enhanced fibro-connective tissue formation as well as reduced irritation and lower inflammation compared to polyester. Coupled with the exceptional mechanical performance of Dyneema Purity®, the world’s strongest fiber, these results make this ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) an excellent alternative to polyester.
