two blue sutures and two white and blue suture
Designed to provide maximum compression for optimal repair integrity in orthopedic procedures while minimizing tendon abrasion and tear-through1-3

Data Shows the Benefits of Hi-Fi®

Hi-Fi® Ribbon

  • Features a 1.3mm width, which is twice as wide as #2 Hi-Fi® Suture and is designed to provide broader compression for more tendon to bone contact
  • 14% stronger than #2 Hi-Fi® Suture4
  • Provides smaller knot stacks than #2 Suture, a design which can help reduce the abrasion and post-operative pain that could be caused by large knot stacks5
  • Uses a flat braid that is designed to be easier on surgeon hands when tying knots and retain the ability to tie like a #2 Suture

Hi-Fi® Tape

  • Features a 2mm width, which offers broader compression than Hi-Fi® Ribbon and #2 Hi-Fi® Suture for increased tendon-to-bone interface1
  • 69% less abrasive than FiberTape when measuring tendon tear-through1
  • More than twice as strong as #2 Suture2
  • Simplifies double-row repairs by eliminating need for medial knot tying

Hi-Fi® Suture

  • Braided, non-absorbable suture is designed to provide exceptional strength for knot tying while helping minimize tendon damage
  • Peer-reviewed literature shows that CONMED’s #2 Hi-Fi® Suture reduces mean cutting rate by over 50% when compared to FiberWire and FiberTape, which were more abrasive on the suture-tendon interface and led to higher tendon tear-through3
  • Coreless design is intended to improve comfort in surgeon’s hands when tying knots
  • Available preloaded on all major CONMED soft tissue anchors, and individually ranging in size from #2-0 up to #5
