Features | |
Description | The Bio-SutureTak is a 3 mm bioabsorbable push-in suture anchor with a molded-in suture eyelet ideal for soft tissue attachment to bone in the shoulder joint and other indications where a small anchor profile with high pull-out strength is required. The exclusive braided suture eyelet loop is molded into the body of the anchor and provides superior resistance to suture abrasion compared to conventional metal anchors. This unique eyelet design allows the attached suture to slide smoothly enhancing the performance of arthroscopic sliding- knots. The Bio-SutureTak is available with either one or two #2 FiberWire sutures or with one polyester Tevdek suture. For use in softer bone and revisions, the Bio-SutureTak is also available in a 3.7 mm diameter. All of the Bio-SutureTaks are sterile, single use and preloaded on a disposable handled inserter for speed and convenience. A needle version of the Bio-SutureTak is also available. It is recommended that the optional Short Spade Tip Drill and optional Short Spear be used with the Bio-SutureTak w/Needles. The Spear with Trocar and Blunt Obturator is used for percutaneous insertion or through a cannula. A Blunt Tip Obturator is also in the instrument set. The Bio-SutureTak Punch can be used to make a small pilot hole and to provide a coined surface to avoid skiving of the drill which is always used. Two other cannulated inserters are available: the Offset Clear Guide and the Clear Guide. |
