SUTUREFIX Suture Anchor

All-suture fixation device for instability repair.

Anchor is small, strong and soft, with a reliable deployment method.1
New curved guides are designed to aid in suture anchor placement during drilling and insertion.

Anchor construct forms itself against the steel inserter, not the cortical layer as with competitive soft anchors, so deployment is more reliable, reproducible, and less dependent on bone density.2

Provides audible, tactile and visual cues when deployed:

• Once anchor has been tapped into the pilot hole, deployment is achieved by pulling back on the trigger until the “click” is heard and felt – confirming successful deployment into the bone.3
• Drill guide windows provide additional visual confirmation of drilling depth and anchor placement.
   

Anchor’s small diameter and shallow insertion depth allow the placement of multiple implants along the glenoid rim, creating a large, evenly distributed surface area of tissue compression for greater tissue-to-bone contact.4

Produces more than twice the pullout strength5 than the top two competing hard anchors, Arthrex SutureTakTM BioComposite Suture Anchors (2.0 and 2.4 mm).
