Arthrex suture anchors are designed to repair soft tissue to bone through a variety of innovative anchor styles, materials and suture configurations.

Shoulder

Product

2.6 FiberTak RC anchors are specifically designed for surgeons who prefer an all-suture anchor for the medial row of a double-row, bridging rotator cuff repair. They are combined with Knotless SwiveLock® C anchors for the lateral row. The unique 2.6 FiberTak RC anchor has a 1.7 FiberTape® suture fixed to the sheath so that it cannot slide, making it easy to tension the lateral row for a totally knotless construct. The 2.6 FiberTak RC anchor is available with a tensionable knotless mechanism or a sliding 1.3 mm SutureTape that can be incorporated into the repair, or discarded, for ultimate flexibility.
The self-punching inserter for select FiberTak anchors allows for direct insertion into bone without creating a prepunched or predrilled socket for anchor insertion. The self-punching FiberTak inserter may be used with or without a guide and can be placed directly into bone or used with a transtendon insertion technique.

2.6 FiberTak® RC Soft Anchors

The Knotless 1.8 FiberTak® soft anchor is the latest in knotless tensionable technology for instability. This design combines trusted knotless technology with the latest in suture innovation. The updates help improve implant insertion, help improve handling characteristics, and provide premium instrumentation with additional stability.

Knotless 1.8 FiberTak® Soft Anchor

The partially threaded Knotless Corkscrew anchor provides knotless soft-tissue fixation and has a tensionable suture-locking mechanism. Suture is passed and shuttled into the locking mechanism, allowing users to control the tension of knotless repairs. These anchors can be used for PASTA, remplissage, upper subscapularis, and SCR repairs.

Knotless Corkscrew® Anchor

Knotless FiberTak soft anchors combine the benefits of all-suture anchors with knotless soft-tissue fixation. A tensionable, suture-locking mechanism allows users to control the repair tension under direct visualization.

Knotless FiberTak® Soft Anchor

The Knotless SutureTak anchor simplifies arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair by combining a proven1 and reproducible suture anchor design and insertion procedure with knotless soft tissue fixation. Use the guide and drill to create a pilot hole precisely on the glenoid rim and insert the suture anchor through the guide maintaining the same portal and drill trajectory. Pass the suture and shuttle it into the locking mechanism, allowing controlled tension of the suture repair for knotless soft-tissue fixation under direct visualization. This anchor may also be used in an interconnecting fashion to create bridging constructs for PASTA and remplissage repairs.

Knotless SutureTak® Anchor

The Knotless SwiveLock suture anchor for tensionable knotless soft-tissue repair is the most universal and adaptable knotless suture anchor on the market. The knotless mechanism is appealing to surgeons for unique tissue tear patterns while still achieving the core fixation from a SpeedBridge™ rotator cuff repair (RCR).
The standard SpeedBridge RCR technique has been trusted by surgeons for their patients since 2008. It has a proven success rate through multiple publications that have shown significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes that were durable at a minimum of 5 and 10 years postoperatively.1,2

Knotless SwiveLock® Suture Anchor

The screw-in, knotless Labral SwiveLock anchor is specially designed for treating shoulder instability and is used similar to a Labral PushLock® anchor. Offering the same knotless advantages as the Labral PushLock anchor (eg, low profile, quick, suture-first technique with multiple stitch configuration options), this anchor provides the added benefits of higher pullout strength and vents that may allow bony ingrowth. The anchor is available in biocomposite or PEEK material.

Labral SwiveLock® Anchor

Designed for arthroscopic instability or rotator cuff repair, the knotless PushLock suture anchor uniquely allows surgeons to adjust tension on the tissue intraoperatively, ensuring precise tissue reduction and fixation.
PushLock anchors are available in 2.4 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm sizes. The 2.4 mm and 2.9 mm PushLock anchors are optimized for labral repair. Use the 4.5 mm PushLock anchor for rotator cuff repair using the SutureBridge™ technique and the 3.5 mm PushLock anchor during rotator cuff or instability procedures.
The anchor bodies – available in bioabsorbable biocomposite or PLLA and nonabsorbable PEEK materials – are strong, revisable, and radioluscent implants with no MRI artifact. Each anchor has a PEEK eyelet for superior strength during insertion to allow firm tissue tensioning and shifting.1

PushLock® Anchor

The 4.5 mm PushLock®&nbsp;SP was developed to help speed completion of a SutureBridge rotator cuff repair, while increasing the precision of the final construct.&nbsp; The PushLock SP combines a small titanium tip with either a PLLA, BioComposite or PEEK anchor body. The titanium tip minimizes the need to prepare a bone socket for the lateral row, where soft tissue can sometimes obscure the view. This eliminates the possibility of losing the bone socket after pre-punching, as is required for a standard PushLock anchor. The self-punching feature also helps maintain proper axial alignment of the anchor during its final insertion into the bone socket.

PushLock® SP

Maximize OR convenience and efficiency with the SpeedBridge implant system, which contains the implants and sutures required to complete a SpeedBridge rotator cuff repair in a single, sterile tray. The BioComposite SpeedBridge implant systems include 4.75 mm vented BioComposite SwiveLock® anchors with preloaded FiberTape® loops, which ease suture passage for the medial row, and 4.75 mm BioComposite SwiveLock C or 5.5 mm BioComposite SwiveLock SP (self-punching) anchors for the lateral row. For convenience, the required punch is also included in the sterile package.

SpeedBridge™ Implant System

The fully threaded, knotless SwiveLock C anchor is designed for use with FiberWire® or FiberTape® sutures during rotator cuff repair with the SpeedFix™, SutureBridge™, or SpeedBridge™ technique. The Labral SwiveLock anchor is available for instability repair and provides very high pullout and insertion strength while saving time.1 SwiveLock anchors are cannulated and vented to minimize material and allow for potential bony ingrowth.2 The anchors are available in multiple sizes, and in bioabsorbable biocomposite or PLLA and nonabsorbable PEEK materials.

SwiveLock® C Anchor

The self-punching 4.75 mm and 5.5 mm SwiveLock SP anchor combines a titanium tip with a biocomposite, PLLA, PEEK, or titanium anchor body to eliminate the need for prepunching a bone socket. This self-punching design can help save valuable OR time, while increasing the precision of the final construct. The SwiveLock SP anchor can be combined with FiberTape® suture to complete a SpeedFix™ repair or SpeedBridge™ knotless rotator cuff repair.

Knotless Suture Anchors

Human

The Arthrex knotless anchors provide versatility, speed and security in knotless rotator cuff and instability repair. Both the PushLock and the SwiveLock are available in multiple sizes, materials and eyelet configurations to allow for maximum procedure versatility. The unique implant designs allow for suture tension to be visualized and adjusted before being securely locked into position with the anchor body. The difference between the anchors is that the barbed PushLock anchor body is malleted into the bone while the threaded SwiveLock is twisted into its final position.

These anchors offer the benefits, clinical experience, and product support surgeons have come to appreciate from Arthrex.

FiberTak® Soft Anchor

SutureTak anchors are available in a variety of sizes, materials, and suture options. Biocomposite anchor options contain a molded-in suture to reinforce the strength of the anchor and suture eyelet. The nonabsorbable PEEK SutureTak anchor has a material eyelet that provides superior abrasion resistance due to PEEK’s low coefficient of friction. Anchor insertion and delivery are made simple by drilling through a spear and inserting the anchor through the same spear into the drilled hole.

SutureTak® Anchors

The family of fully threaded Corkscrew suture anchors was designed for maximum fixation strength and simple insertion. These implants are available in a variety of materials including titanium, PLLA, PEEK, and biocomposite. An internal drive mechanism is combined with a unique FiberWire® suture eyelet to allow for continuous threads along the entire length of the anchor. This design allows the anchor to be inserted flush with the cortical bone surface providing excellent fixation strength and stability while preventing the anchor pullback effect that can occur in conventional anchors with protruding eyelets. The internal drive configuration allows for high insertion torque and the suture eyelet self-aligns to eliminate the need for specific eyelet orientation at the tissue edge. The anchors are available double- or triple-loaded with FiberWire suture or SutureTape to provide the best possible combination for superior repair strength.

Corkscrew® FT Anchor

Titanium Corkscrew® suture anchors (available in 3.5 mm, 5.0 mm, and 6.5 mm diameters) feature a small minor diameter and a cancellous screw thread design.
The anchor's very sharp point makes it possible to insert without tapping. The Corkscrew II suture anchor has two eyelets that maximize suture separation and slidability.

Corkscrew® Suture Anchors

The family of FASTak screw-in suture anchors are used to secure the labrum and associated soft tissue to the glenoid using preloaded FiberWire® suture. Once the anchors are implanted in the glenoid, the sutures can be passed in multiple configurations for optimal fixation and strength using the Labral Scorpion™ quick-loading suture passer, QuickPass™ SutureLasso™ suture passer, or other passing device.

FASTak™ Suture Anchor

Knotted Suture Anchors
