Suture Anchor, SwiveLock Tenodesis, Biocomposite, Closed PEEK Eyelet - Fixation anchor, soft-tissue, biodegradable

Intended purpose

The bioabsorbable fixation anchors are intended to be used for suture (soft tissue) fixation to bone in the foot, ankle, knee, hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and hip.

Functional description

The device is comprised of two sections, an absorbable anchor body of PLLA and ßTCP and a non-absorbable closed PEEK eyelet. The suture anchor is pre-mounted on a driver with the anchor body and eyelet physically separated on the driver shaft. The PEEK eyelet is closed for surgeons who prefer the traditional whipstitch technique. Strong fixation is obtained by screwing the anchor body into the socket.
