Bone Block Cerclage

Bone block cerclage is an innovative arthroscopic surgical technique that preserves the integrity of the subscapularis and provides a metal-free fixation of the bone graft.¹ Two interconnected FiberTape® and TigerTape™ cerclage sutures provide firm compression of the graft and strong fixation that minimizes construct displacement at high loads.²

The FiberTape Cerclage for Glenoid Bone Loss Implant System contains all the necessary implants and disposables for the procedure (except capsulolabral repair anchors). To help provide a reproducible surgical technique, the kit includes an arthroscopic measuring probe, two 3-mm cannulated drills of different lengths to facilitate unobstructed drilling, and the MegaLoader suture-passing loop to aid in the passage of sutures into instruments and bone grafts.
