The MIS FiberTak Achilles SpeedBridge repair implant system is a novel concept in Achilles reattachment following Haglund’s debridement. This repair enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape® suture and knotless rip-stop sutures to be laid over the tendon’s distal end in a completely knotless 4-anchor configuration. The Achilles SpeedBridge repair provides rigid tendon fixation with improved tendon-to-bone opposition, allowing for immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion.1

MIS FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ Procedure for Insertional Achilles Pathology

The MIS Achilles SpeedBridge™ repair system provides a minimally invasive, percutaneous approach to addressing insertional Achilles pathology. This innovative, novel concept requires 25% less material than the original SpeedBridge construct and has double its biomechanical strength,1 along with a tensionable, knotless rip-stop. The system includes an MIS burr, cannulated drills and taps, and a laser line window to determine depth of SwiveLock® anchors. Additionally, the system incorporates collagen‐coated FiberTape® suture with new differentiating colors. The MIS Achilles SpeedBridge repair system provides rigid tendon fixation with improved tendon-to-bone opposition such that immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion may be possible. 2,3

The new FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ repair uses an innovative soft-tissue fixation device for the treatment of insertional Achilles pathology. The collagen-coated 1.7 mm FiberTape® suture and knotless ripstop provide a repair with a greater area of compression over the distal Achilles, improving stability to support postoperative weightbearing and range of motion.1&nbsp;
