FiberStick suture is #2 FiberWire suture&nbsp;with the first 12 inches stiffened to allow convenient and easy advancement through most cannulated instruments, eliminating the need for a monofilament suture or wire suture shuttle. FiberStick sutures come with a thin plastic tube that protects the stiffened suture until use. TigerStick sutures are similar to FiberStick sutures, but they are white with a black stripe to make suture identification easier.

FiberStick™ and TigerStick® Sutures

Child (D)

Hand and Wrist

FiberStick™ and TigerStick® are part of the FiberWire® family. The stiff “waxed” end of the FiberStick and TigerStick allows convenient and easy advancement through most cannulated instruments or spinal needles. By allowing simple push-through passing of FiberWire suture, it alleviates the need for a monofilament suture or wire suture shuttle. FiberStick and TigerStick come with a thin plastic tube which protects the stiffened suture end until use.

Knee

Procedure

Ramp lesions, which are commonly associated with ACL injuries and are often misdiagnosed,1 disrupt the meniscotibial ligament and the posteromedial meniscus in the meniscocapsular zone. Disruption of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus could lead to excessive forces within the knee joint and surrounding structures.
The QuickPass™ SutureLasso™ suture passer is preloaded with a #2-0 FiberStick™ suture, and is available with a left or right 25° curve and 1.5 mm tip.

Meniscus Ramp Lesion Repair

FiberWire® is available in size 2-0 with multiple needle options.

Suture Size 2-0

Using standard wrist arthroscopy portals and setup, type 1B tears of the TFCC are repaired back to their anatomic insertion on the bone. Using a specialized Micro SutureLasso™ suture passer, a 2-0 FiberWire® suture is passed through the TFCC and a mattress stitch is created. The TFCC kit is then used to place a knotless 2.5 mm PushLock anchor into the base of the ulna. The sutures are tightened, bringing both the superficial and deep fibers of the TFCC back to their insertion site on the bone. The knotless anchor is inserted and final fixation of the TFCC back to the bone is achieved.

Arthroscopic Knotless TFCC Repair Using the PushLock® Anchor

Using standard arthroscopic portals, the Micro SutureLasso™ are directed through the TFCC tissue adjacent to the tear. The Micro SutureLasso can be inserted using either the outside-in or inside-out techniques. A specialized 2-0 FiberStick allows direct passage of 2-0 FiberWire suture through the Micro SutureLasso and TFCC tissue. Using either technique a mattress stitch is created over the tear. The sutures are then tied to the capsule to complete the repair.

For meniscal allograft transplant, the double bone plug technique involves medially implanting the meniscal allograft with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. The technique can also correct meniscal deficiency using bone plugs and minimally invasive suspensory fixation and allows the meniscal allograft to maintain functional hoop stress.

Double Bone Plug

The Double Bone Plug technique for meniscal tear/deficiency utilizes bone plugs that can either be prepared freehand or by using a coring reamer. The freehand technique is performed using rongeurs and a high speed burr. For detailed information about this technique and/or Arthrex products utilized in this technique, visit the educational resources tab or products tab below. The double bone plug technique for meniscal allograft reconstruction provides a method for implanting the meniscal allograft medially with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. It has been demonstrated that bony fixation and bony healing at the attachment site allows for the maintenance of functional hoop stress by the meniscal allograft.

Double Bone Plug Meniscal Transplant

Pass 0 and 2-0 FiberWire® sutures in tight recesses of the knee with the Knee Scorpion suture passer and retriever. With the lowest profile jaw available (3.2 mm), this one-handed, ergonomically designed suture passer eliminates extra steps for suture shuttling and retrieval with reliable FastPass technology. Pass and capture suture in one simple pass and apply multiple suture configurations with the Knee Scorpion suture passer.

Knee Scorpion™ Suture Passer

The low-profile 3.2 mm Knee Scorpion™ jaw allows the passage of 0 and 2-0 FiberWire® suture in tight recesses of the knee. The one-handed, ergonomically designed suture passer is offered with reliable FastPass technology. FastPass Scorpion™ technology allows passing suture through tissue and capturing the suture in one simple pass, eliminating the need for the extra steps of suture retrieval and suture shuttling. Multiple different suture configurations are possible using the Knee Scorpion suture passer.

Meniscal All-Suture Repair

Meniscal root avulsions are a challenging injury causing meniscal extrusion and loss of hoop stress distribution, which can lead to the development of knee arthritis.1 Arthrex offers multiple implant systems for meniscal root repair.&nbsp;
The SutureLoc™ implant allows for direct tibial fixation of the meniscal root. The 2.4 mm cannulated drill pin leaves more bone intact while delivering the SutureLasso™ wire directly to the footprint of the meniscal root. Once the anchor has been passed, the 2 repair sutures can be passed through the tissue in a variety of stitch patterns. The knotless implant is retensionable, allowing surgeons to dial in their repair. Traditional transtibial implant systems using a FlipCutter® II reamer and multiple fixation options are also available.
A complete system for meniscal root repair includes the meniscal root marking hooks and the Knee Scorpion™ suture passer. Two meniscal root marking hooks are available, so surgeons can choose their preferred hook.&nbsp;
The point-to-point guide allows surgeons to directly target their drill location at the meniscal root footprint, while the over-the-back marking hook sits securely over the back of the tibia to allow stable drilling tunnel preparation. Use the low-profile Knee Scorpion suture passer to simplify suture passing in tight recesses of the knee.

Suture passing is made easy with the wide variety of instruments from Arthrex, including SwiftStitch™, SutureLasso™, BirdBeak®, Penetrator™, Hip Labral Scorpion™ and CapsuleClose Scorpion™ suture passers.

Suture Passing

The Triangular Fibrocartilage (TFCC) Ulnar Tunnel Repair technique provides a reliable and reproducible option to treat peripheral ulnar tears. By repairing both the superficial and deep layers (ligamentum subcruentum) of the TFCC down to bone, this technique recreates an anatomic TFCC insertion. FiberStick™ or FiberWire® sutures provide a strong and permanent repair of the articular disk.1 The 2.5 mm Mini PushLock® or 2.5 mm Nano SwiveLock® anchor imparts the final knotless, no-profile fixation.
