FxBridge™ Tuberosity Repair System

Reproducible. Simple. Strong.

• Three distinct suture colors aid in suture management for a simple, reproducible repair
• FiberTape™ suture provides more resistance to tissue pull-through compared to round suture¹
• FxBridge technique facilitates anatomic tuberosity reduction, which increases tuberosity healing and improves postoperative range of motion²
• 135° humeral inclination increases tuberosity healing rate and stability^3-5
