ACL TightRope® II Implant

As the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to use a flat SutureTape design, the ACL TightRope II implant offers better handling characteristics and is more resistant to graft abrasion or tissue pull-through than traditional round sutures.¹

Engineered for precise graft tensioning, the adjustable-loop mechanism allows for incremental retensioning of the graft construct after the implants have been secured on the cortex. The redesigned cortical button now incorporates a proprietary knotless fifth locking mechanism, increasing strength and resistance to cyclic displacement.² To accommodate various graft types and techniques, TightRope II implants are available in RT and BTB configurations loaded with an additional flipping suture or preloaded with a FiberTape^® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique. Available options for the ABS implant include standard or open.
