Rotator cuff suture anchor VersaLat-ST™

non-absorbableknotless

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. FEATURES AND BENEFITS • A one-handed technique promotes ease-of-use and decreases operation time. • Unique locking mechanism for effective & efficient suture tensioning. • Eliminates knots associated with tissue irritation. • A retention suture that allows for the fixation of any remaining ligament fragments. • Engineered counter thread allows for dependent rotation of the inner shaft upon anchor insertion. • Self-punching tip allows for efficient insertion without the need for a pre-tapped hole. • Titanium tip adds extra fixation point for increased pull-out strength.
