The VersaLat-ST™ is an innovative knotless anchor that reduces operation time while providing superior pull-out strength. It can be used alone or with the VersaTap™ and other medial row/knotted anchors for large or small-joint repairs. Its single-handed, no pre-drilling design allows surgeons to fixate sutures, suture tapes, or ligaments easily, with an extra suture available for biceps tendon fixation or ligament repair.
