Description
TwinFix AB Absorbable Suture Anchor
- PLLA Absorbable Anchor
- #2 UltraBraid Sutures (2)
ULTRABRAID is a non-absorbable suture is composed of a special ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene fiber and features a unique braid configuration. As a result, ULTRABRAID Suture offers special advantages over traditional polyester suture, including a high knot breaking strength, ideal lubricity, and a strong resistance to fraying.
TwinFix AB Suture Anchors provide a tapered body that is mated to the dilator to reduce insertion torque, thereby helping to minimize anchor breakage. Suture eyelets are located deeper in the anchor body to reduce suture eyelet failure under cyclic loading.
