Product Overview
SUTUREFIX ULTRA is an all-suture fixation device for instability repair
• Anchor is small, strong and soft, with a reliable deployment method.
• Anchor construct forms itself against the steel inserter, not the cortical layer as with competitive soft anchors, so deployment is more reliable, reproducible, and less dependent on bone density.
• Provides audible, tactile and visual cues when deployed:
- Once anchor has been tapped into the pilot hole, deployment is achieved by pulling back on the trigger until the “click” is heard and felt – confirming successful deployment into the bone.
- Drill guide windows provide additional visual confirmation of drilling depth and anchor placement.
• Anchor’s small diameter and shallow insertion depth allow the placement of multiple implants along the glenoid rim, creating a large, evenly distributed surface area of tissue compression for greater tissue-to-bone contact.
• Produces more than twice the pullout strength than the top two competing hard anchors.
