The TightRope Attachable Button System (ABS) revolutionized minimally invasive, adjustable loop suspensory fixation grafts used in knee ligament surgery. Suitable for all graft types, the TightRope II ABS implant loops can be attached to a variety of button configurations for fixation over sockets created with a FlipCutter® drill or full tunnels with concave buttons.&nbsp;
The new flat-tape TightRope II ABS implant loop improves handling characteristics and can reduce graft abrasion.1 Able to easily pass through narrow bone tunnels, the two-piece TightRope II ABS implant allows increased cortical fixation with the assembly of a large button over the cortical bone. During all-inside ACL reconstruction, use the TightRope II ABS implant for tibial fixation in QuadLink™ and GraftLink® techniques or graft fixation over small bone tunnels created during transtibial ACL reconstruction.

ACL TightRope® II Attachable Button System

Child (D)

As the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to use a flat SutureTape design, the new ACL TightRope II implant offers better handling characteristics and is more resistant to graft abrasion or tissue pull-through than traditional round sutures.1&nbsp;
Engineered for precise graft tensioning, the adjustable-loop mechanism allows for incremental retensioning of the graft construct after the implants have been secured on the cortex. The redesigned cortical button now incorporates a proprietary knotless fifth locking mechanism, increasing strength and resistance to cyclic displacement.2 To accommodate various graft types and techniques, TightRope II implants are available in RT and BTB configurations loaded with an additional flipping suture or preloaded with a FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique. Available options for the ABS implant include standard or open.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

ACL TightRope® II Implant

Multiple collateral ligament reconstruction techniques are available and range from aperture fixation using the BioComposite SwiveLock® tenodesis system with biocomposite interference screws to suspensory fixation with TightRope® technology. 
 
For primary or hybrid collateral ligament repair techniques, choose from a comprehensive line of anchor fixation devices, including FiberTak® soft anchors or biocomposite suture anchors, which come preloaded with needles.

Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set

The FiberTag TightRope implant facilitates attachment of single-ended grafts, such as quad tendon grafts, to the ACL TightRope RT and ABS implants. FiberTag suture is integrated into the TightRope implant for a strong1, consistent connection between the suture and TightRope loop. A simplified suturing technique, along with innovative packaging and the new GraftClamp graft preparation instrument, make preparing quadriceps tendon grafts faster and more reproducible than ever.
