As the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to use a flat SutureTape design, the 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.

The next evolution in adjustable cortical suspensory fixation, the ACL TightRope II implant includes a flat-tape TightRope loop for improved graft interface and handling characteristics during graft tensioning and greater resistance to graft abrasion.1 Engineered to enable precise graft tensioning and incremental retensioning of the construct after cortical button fixation, this implant features a proprietary 5-point locking design that resists cyclic displacement and offers excellent pull-out strength.2
 
 
An ideal choice for all inside ACL reconstruction, the ACL TightRope II RT implant can be used for femoral fixation and combined with an ACL TightRope II ABS implant and concave ABS button for tibial fixation to facilitate incremental graft advancement and tensioning of both the femoral and tibial ends of the graft.
