Advanced Round to Flat Suture Technology for Superior Surgical Outcomes
EverestMedica is a pioneering technology company specializing in advanced suture solutions for the orthopedic market. Our patented Round to Flat technology represents a breakthrough in surgical braid design.
We identify key liability risks within the industry and provide strategic solutions to reduce exposure while enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes.
Our comprehensive patent portfolio demonstrates our commitment to innovation and positions us as leaders in the orthopedic suture technology market.
Our revolutionary braiding apparatus uses active and passive tracks to create continuous, gap-less surgical braids with transitions between round and flat sections.
Our specialized braiding machine utilizes electronically controlled gates allowing individual bobbins to move between active and passive states, creating complex patterns without stopping production.
Unlike traditional methods requiring splicing or gluing, our sutures feature a single continuous braid through all transitions, eliminating weak points and tissue-catching gaps.
Seamlessly transitions between out-of-round (oblong/tubular) sections and flat tape sections, optimizing both tissue protection and knot security.
Features alternating colors and patterns (striped vs. cross) within a single continuous fiber, enhancing surgical visibility and positioning accuracy.
Flat tape sections distribute force evenly across a larger surface area, preventing cheese-wiring through delicate muscles and ligaments.
Out-of-round sections increase surface area for friction within knots, significantly reducing the risk of knot slippage under tension.
High-contrast trace strands help surgeons differentiate between multiple sutures during complex procedures like rotator cuff repairs.
Continuous construction eliminates weak points from splicing or adhesive, ensuring consistent strength throughout the entire suture.
Compatible with PET, Silk, Nylon, and UHMWPE, allowing customization for specific tensile strength and mass density requirements.
Enhanced tracking and positioning capabilities support better outcomes in orthopedic procedures requiring precise suture placement.
Our comprehensive intellectual property portfolio demonstrates our commitment to innovation and market leadership in orthopedic suture technology.
