While standard anchor fixation of the tendon creates only a single point of compression directly over the anchor, the SutureBridge™ enables an hourglass pattern of FiberWire® suture to be laid over the distal end of the tendon. This four-anchor construct enables a greater area of compression for the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus, improving stability and possibly allowing for earlier return to normal activities.
