The 4.5 mm-diameter bicortical post has an extremely low-profile head to reduce soft-tissue irritation. A 2.5 mm drill for bicortical post is used to broach the cortical bone, while the depth device provides accurate sizing information. The optional low-profile, spiked washer may be used in conjunction with the bicortical post for soft-tissue tendon fixation of soft tissue tendons directly to bone.&nbsp;
The posts and washers are manufactured using titanium ASTM F-136 alloy. The smooth, concave-shaped washer securely traps attached sutures and bulky suture knots atraumatically under the low-profile washer to eliminate potential soft-tissue irritation. The spiked washer facilitates direct soft tissue or ligament fixation to bone.
Ligament staples with a low-profile bridge reduce the frequency of secondary removal due to patient discomfort caused by soft-tissue irritation. The cobalt chrome spiked fixation staple has sharp leg points for easier penetration into cortical bone without predrilling. The staple driver with attachable impactor/extractor allows complete impaction since the staple driver tip is flush with the staple bridge. The staple seating punch may be used for further impaction. All staples are 20 mm.
Finally, the two-piece TensionLoc™ implant system is designed to fix suture during ligament reconstruction procedures. Using this technique, tibial suture fixation is shown for a single- or double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). A unique alternative to standard suture buttons, the TensionLoc implant allows suture-button maintenance for suture tension adjustments during knot tying. The low-profile PEEK implant sits flush and securely within the tunnel.
