TightRope^®

Foot and ankle tightrope 0 large

The TightRope Syndesmosis provides fixation of syndesmosis disruptions with or without associated ankle fractures. The TightRope is comprised of a #5 FiberWire loop tensioned and secured between metallic buttons to provide physiologic stabilization of the ankle mortise.

Features & Benefits:

Stronger than screws - Demonstrates fatigue life over two times that of standard metal screws.

Eliminates screw complications - Eliminates broken screws and the possibility of stress fractures and the need for a second surgery.

Simple technique - Minimal instrumentation and easy insertion reduces OR time.
