Double-Loaded Tensionable Knotless Anchors for Rotator Cuff Repair

Tensionable knotless technology brought a unique feature to rotator cuff repair by allowing surgeons to dial in the appropriate amount of tension on a repair construct. With the introduction of the double-loaded knotless technology, surgeons now have even more control in tensioning rotator cuff repairs by having two independent repair sutures. These repair sutures are passed separately through the rotator cuff, shuttled simultaneously through the knotless mechanism, and tensioned independently to achieve desired fixation.

Double-loaded tensionable knotless anchor technology provides a quick and efficient way to treat tears of the rotator cuff. These anchors are ideal for small rotator cuff tears or upper border subscapularis tears, enabling surgeons to make two independent suture passes and secure them at a single fixation point.
