SwiveLock® Instability Technique - Posterior

The SwiveLock® anchor is a knotless suture anchor designed for arthroscopic glenohumeral joint instability repair. It is sized and used similarly to the 2.9 mm PushLock® anchor, but features a threaded and vented anchor body "twists-in" rather than "taps-in". The anchor allows the suture to be passed through the desired amount of tissue independently, before the anchor is implanted. This feature allows the surgeon to properly capture the amount of capsule or labrum required for the pathology being treated. The surgeon can visualize and adjust tissue tension prior to final implant installation. The anchor is twisted into its final position and the sutures are cut flush.

The body of the anchor is available in a biocomposite material that combines PLLA with ß-TCP, or a nonabsorbable thermoplastic material, polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Both are strong, revisable, and radiolucent implants. Both versions use a PEEK eyelet for superior strength during insertion to allow firm tissue tensioning and shifting.
