SUTUREFIX ULTRA Suture Anchor for Improved Fixation (VIDEO)
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/suture-anchor.jpg
Smith & Nephew has just launched its in**vative SUTUREFIX Ultra soft suture anchor*for*hip and shoulder labral repair surgeries. The suture is delivered using a 1.7 mm wide needle and a special mechanism expands it into a bent shape that stays secure even with less than ideal bone quality.
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SUTUREFIX-ULTRA.jpgSmith & Nephew is particularly proud of the deployment feedback that the SUTUREFIX Ultra provides. Once the anchor is released and set, the device makes a click that can be felt and heard. Additionally, two holes at the proximal end of the needle provide a visual identification when the anchor is released.
Features and advantages of the SUTUREFIX Ultra according to the product page:
Anchor construct forms itself against the steel inserter, **t the cortical layer as with competitive soft anchors, so deployment is more reliable, reproducible, and less dependent on bone density.
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.
- Drill guide ******* 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 gle**id rim, creating a large, evenly distributed surface area of tissue compression for greater tissue-to-bone contact.
Produces more than twice the pullout strength*than the top two competing hard anchors.
