The FiberWire® Scissor was designed to cut any size or style suture, especially FiberWire, in open surgical cases where an arthroscopic suture cutter is not necessary. With its specially designed cutting edges, it can cut FiberWire cleanly and effortlessly without frayed edges. The color coded handle facilitates instrument differentiation in large instrument packs.

The CuffMend system provides an efficient, simplified approach for augmenting partial- and full-thickness rotator cuff tears. The system employs the benefits of a thick ArthroFlex dermal allograft, which provides mechanical strength and supports healing.1,2&nbsp;Introduce the graft using the graft spreader and use the FiberStitch™ RC implant for medial soft-tissue fixation to the rotator cuff tendon. Use self-punching PushLock®&nbsp;anchors, spanning the graft over the tuberosity footprint, for lateral bony fixation. Implantation of the CuffMend system is designed to be completed in less than 10 minutes. Scientific literature supports the use of acellular dermal grafts as a safe and effective solution for rotator cuff augmentation.3

CuffMend™ Rotator Cuff Augmentation Technique

DynaNite CT nitinol staples are intended to be used in conjunction with FiberTape® sternal closure to augment sternotomy fixation. These shape-changing, dynamic implants increase sternal stability by producing constant compression across the sternotomy.1 DynaNite CT staples provide a simple solution and streamlined technique to further aid in minimizing sternal movement.

DynaNite® CT Nitinol Staples for Sternal Closure

The FiberTape sternal closure system is a 100% nonmetallic, suture-based alternative to metal wires traditionally used to close the sternum after cardiac surgery. The FiberTape sternal closure implant, which is implanted similarly to metal wires, provides strong, reproducible compression that helps support sternal approximation and stabilization.1

FiberTape® Sternal Closure

Designed to reapproximate hip capsular tissue following a capsulotomy during hip arthroscopy, the LoopLoc knotless implant is an alternative to closing the hip capsule with traditional sutures that require a knot to be tied.
Advantages of the LoopLoc knotless implant:
<ul>
 <li>Low profile</li>
 <li>Eliminates knot stacks</li>
 <li>Removes variability of knot strength from surgeon to surgeon</li>
 <li>Loaded on a step-by-step suture management card for ease of use</li>
</ul>

LoopLoc™ Knotless Implant

The Rotator Cuff and Instability Express Instrument System cases feature single-level, low-profile, and 
customizable cases that house the latest instrumentation for the Arthrex next-generation implants. The light and compact cases have a small footprint, making them ideal for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) with space constraints, as well as larger hospitals managing high case volumes.&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>Efficient–just the instruments needed for a given procedure</li>
 <li>Customizable–accommodates individual preferences and needs</li>
 <li>Light and Compact–half the height of the full-size Shoulder Arthroscopy Instrument System case</li>
</ul>

Shoulder Express Instrument Systems

Arthrex offers a wide variety of suture with needles, including SutureTape, FiberWire®, TigerWire®, and #2 FiberWire suture.
SutureTape is a flat-braided suture more resistant to tissue pull-through,1 offering improved handling and stronger knot security1 with smaller, comparable knot stacks.
FiberWire and TigerWire suture are both high-strength options available on implants and packaged separately with and without needles. FiberWire suture is constructed of a multistrand long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene core with a braided jacket of polyester and UHMWPE that&nbsp;provides strength, abrasion resistance, and a soft feel.&nbsp;FiberWire suture is blue and TigerWire suture is white with a black stripe in the suture for easy identification.
#2 FiberWire suture on straight needles comes in two needle options: a single needle attached to 38 in of #2 FiberWire suture or two needles each attached to an end of 38 in of #2 FiberWire suture. These are ideal for creating a variety locking stitch patterns for avulsions of large tendons, such as the quadriceps, patellar, pectoral, or Achilles.
