GRYPHON PROK**T Anchors Combine Best of Traditional and K**tless Anchors
[IMG]http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/prok**t_k**t_comp_white_spinit.png[/IMG]DePuy Synthes, part of J&J, has just released its new GRYPHON Anchors with PROK**T tech**logy for arthroscopic repair of shoulder and hip instability. The hybrid anchor is a combination of traditional and k**tless anchors, providing the benefits of both.

Because the device is pre-k**tted, it offers the strength and control of traditional anchors. Yet, since the k**t can slide to any position, the anchor is as easy to use as a k**tless one. Moreover, the k**t can be tightened further as the surgery necessitates.

From the an**uncement:

“GRYPHON PROK**T was stronger than any other arthroscopic k**t/suture combination we tested and is more reproducible than surgeon-tied arthroscopic k**ts,” said Paul J. Favorito, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon at Wellington Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio, who conducted a study and performed comparative testing on the new tech**logy. “This tech**logy also offers incremental tensioning of the k**t for a precise repair

The GRYPHON PROK**T Anchor is indicated for use in Bankart and SLAP lesion repair, capsular shift or capsulolabral shoulder reconstruction and hip capsular and acetabular labral repairs. It is available in **n-absorbable PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) or proprietary, absorbable BIOCRYL® RAPIDE® Material.
