The SpeedBridge repair is an innovative soft tissue fixation device used in the treatment of Achilles injuries. While standard pin fixation of the tendon creates only a single point of impingement directly over the pin, the SpeedBridge repair creates an hourglass pattern that allows the suture to be placed at the distal end of the tendon. This 4-pin construction provides a true knotless repair and improves the impingement area of the Achilles tendon over the calcaneus, allowing immediate postoperative weight bearing and range of motion.
The standard RCR technique has been used reliably by surgeons for their patients since 2008. It has a proven success rate with significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes and durability after a minimum of 5 and 10 years as demonstrated in several publications.
For soft tissue repair, the 4.75 mm anchors provide surgeons with the added benefit of knotless repair retention sutures. Continuous innovations that enhance repair options using versatile anchors make it the leading anchor in the market.
