With its multiple benefits, Dyneema Purity® represents not just a new kind of fiber, but a new approach to medical device design. It does so by allowing innovations across aspects of patient comfort and recovery, and by creating opportunities for new surgical techniques based on revolutionary new medical devices.

Because Dyneema Purity® is so strong, it permits surgical products that are significantly smaller than existing devices. For instance a Dyneema Purity® braid (suture or tape) will - at simular strength - be about half the thickness of similar polyester products. This property in itself enables the design of smaller implants, such as stronger but thinner sutures, which in turn results in smaller knots with the potential to reduce patient discomfort.  

The smaller implants permitted by Dyneema Purity® integrate perfectly with the very popular development and application of new, minimally invasive surgical techniques.

These (arthroscopic and endoscopic) techniques offer numerous benefits, including shorter hospitalization time and faster recovery times, also leading to a lower total cost of care. In this way, Dyneema Purity® can help the medical community in its mission to improve many aspects of surgical performance and patient comfort.
