Arthroscopic implants

SHOULDERS AND HIPS

Osteoraptor

  • Suitable for treating labral lesions –labrum resuture
  • Knotting, size 2.3 and 2.9 mm, absorbable, PLLA + HA or PK with ULTRABRAID® fibre
  • Small size of the anchor minimises the risk of intraarticular damage
  • Excellent bone compatibility, pre-drilling
  • New product Osteoraptor curved – 2.3 and 2.9 mm, PLLA + HA, absorbable – innovation in the solutions of ASC instability, flexible driller and the anchor itself allows to obtain 25° trajectory with a driller without the necessity of another entry
  • Can be used for hip arthroscopy

Twinfix

Twinfix anchors provide for safe fixation and offer a wide range of sizes and applications – shoulder stabilisation, Bankart, SLAP lesions, rotator cuff stabilisation (procedure type according to anchor size); excellent clinical results, more than 10 years on the market

TWINFIX™ AB

  • Absorbable anchor, PLLA material, narrowed anchor design
  • Suitable for rotator cuff sutures (sizes 5 mm and 6.5 mm)
  • Knotting, pre-drilling, the driller matches the anchor size
  • Reduces torsion pressure during insertion, minimises the risk of damage or fracture during screwing

TWINFIX™ Ti

  • To ensure better safety, the sewing lug lies deeper in the anchor body
  • Titanium anchors (sizes 2.8; 3.5; 5) with conical design
  • Suitable for any type of bone and fixing any soft tissue to the bone
  • Does not require predrilling, is self-cutting, no further instruments are needed
  • Two ULTRABRAID® fibres (pull-out for one fibre 25 kg)

Healicoil PK

Revolutionary solution to rotator cuff operations, unique technology; Healicoil PK differs from conventional implants thanks to minimum inner material, which ensures better bone integrity and provides for excellent fixation at the same time.

  • Knotting, two ULTRABRAID® fibres
  • Less material remains in the shoulder
  • Unique open design
  • Sizes 4.5 and 5.5 mm
  • Excellent fixation, the implant fills with bone within 12 weeks
  • Excellent for osteoporotic bones
  • High torsional strength
  • Conic anchor design providers for better stability
  • Non-absorbable polymer anchor, proven biocompatibility, strength, PEEK-OPTIMA® Polymer from Invibio®
  • Can be used for hip arthroscopy

Footprint PK

Small non-absorbable, non-knotting anchor allowing repeated stitch loosening and tightening till the guide is removed.

  • Sizes 4.5 and 5.5 mm
  • There is a thread inside the small anchor for repeated stitch loosening or tightening
  • Unique anchor design
  • Pre-drilling
  • Non-absorbable, PEEK-OPTIMA® Polymer from Invibio®
  • Excellent hold in the bone

Ultratape

A smooth band for sutures providing stronger contact between soft tissues and the bone.

  • Lower, more evenly distributed compression level potentially reduces vascular restrictions at the site of injury after surgery
  • Purchasable as a separate package or as part of the Healicoil implant

KNEES

Endobutton, Ultrabutton

A simple solution for reconstructions and revisions of ACL, PCL – DB, SB, BTB

  • Suitable for both traditional and anatomic techniques
  • Flipping effect, robust and reliable fixation in the cortical bone
  • A titanium lug with a broad offer of loop sizes (1–6 cm)
  • The unique design ensures correct placement, a short tunnel in the femur is sufficient
  • Another advantage is its excellent material strength (ULTRABRAID®)
  • A twenty-year study (since 1993 on the market), more than 20 specialised articles
  • Provides reliable fixation regardless of possible spongy quality of the bone
  • Complete product range, various grafts and techniques
  • Unproblematic revision
  • Eliminates complications associated with anchoring and the use of the graft or tendon
  • Ultrabutton – the protective casing protects the graft against damage during insertional pull

Biosure HA

Interference screw PLLA + HA

  • 24 sizes available: 6–12 mm (in 1-mm increments), lengths 20, 25, 30 and 35 mm
  • An asset is the reverse thread preventing graft rotation in the channel
  • The screw size corresponds to the channel size, easy handling
  • Intended for both BTB and hamstring muscles
  • The screw preserves 70–90% of its initial strength for up to 12 weeks
  • Stable, for all types of bone
  • A ten-year study

Ultra Fast-Fix a Fast-Fix 360

Unique all-inside type implant for faster and safer meniscus sutures

  • Enables safe, easy and fast meniscus suture without invasive surgical intervention
  • Two sliding self-knotting anchors
  • An innovative pusher/cutter system provides for the deployment of two implants vertically or horizontally on both meniscus sides, with subsequent tightening and removal of excess fibre
  • Excellent clinical results, minimises joint cartilage trauma
  • Curved needles provide easier and safer access, available are also straight needles
  • Non-absorbable implant PEEK-OPTIMA® with the high strength of ULTRABRAID® 2-0 fibres
  • An absorbable bio-version Ultra Fast-Fix AB is also available
