Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ Implant System

Open repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures continues to remain controversial among surgeons as they weigh the tradeoffs of reduced re-rupture rates, improved calf strength, and increased return to activity against potential wound healing and infectious complications.¹ With the Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ (AMSS) implant system, surgeons no longer have to compromise.

The benefits of the AMSS system include:

• Percutaneous, knotless fixation using BioComposite SwiveLock^® anchors
• Augmentation of the repair using high-strength, low-profile FiberWire^® SutureTape sutures²
• Reproducible tensioning that eliminates the variability of knot tying
