BioFiber® Tape is an ultra-high strength tape with the same long-chain polyethylene structure as BioFiber® suture. It is used in foot and ankle soft-tissue repair, for example as a bridge construct in Achilles tendinosis or as a brace for ligaments. The broad footprint of the tape suits repairs in degenerative tissue where pull-through of the suture may be a concern.
