Rotator cuff suture anchor FixOn™

absorbable

The fully threaded Inion FixOn™ Biocomposite Suture Anchor is made of state-of-the-art biocomposite material containing PLGA and osteoconductive β-TCP. The products are provided sterile and preloaded on a practical, single-use driver with two or three nonabsorbable sutures. Inion FixOn™ Biocomposite Suture Anchors provide excellent performance over the healing period in rotator cuff surgery. Benefits of Inion FixOn™ Biocomposite Suture Anchor Excellent visibility of the implant during the operation: Inion FixOn™ Biocomposite Suture Anchor is the only colored biocomposite suture anchor on the market. The pigment (D&C Green No. 6) has routinely been used in implants and sutures for decades. Highly visible, strong sutures (white/striped/blue): Suprabraid™ sutures are prepared from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (USP #2, metric 5). Fast insertion and improved fixation strength over the healing period: The cannulated, fully threaded design with an additional thread in the proximal end increases cortical fixation. Awl-only insertion technique: The high-strength implant material and optimized instrumentation enable the awl-only technique when preparing the insertion site in most bone densities. Optimal material composition: Biocompatibility, strength and degradation properties are supported by test data and clinical studies of similar material compositions. Based on in vitro degradation testing, the polymer component of the device is expected to fully degrade within 2-3 years
