Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine

As these implants are made of titanium Ti-6AL-4V, they do not provoke foreign body reactions (inactive material). Their position can be checked by X-ray, and there is no risk of fracture during a procedure. These anchors are pre-loaded with MEGAFIBRE® USP 2 sutures, which are made of braided, non-absorbable, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene on a single-use inserter. This ensures that the surgical procedure can be performed quickly and efficiently, with improved knot tightness. Laser markings at the distal end facilitate anchor placement during the procedure. A bone punch ensures precise anchor placement.

BIOPLUG 3.5 mm, 4.2 mm, and 5.2 mm are absorbable anchors from KARL STORZ. These anchors stand out, in particular, through their high-quality material, their excellent fixation strength, and their pullout resistance. The material is an amorphous stereocopolymer known as poly-(L-co-D, L-lactide) 70:30, a special slow-degrading material that shows no reabsorption behavior whatsoever, since it remains amorphous throughout the process.

ENDOTACK® (10 x 16 mm) and Mini ENDOTACK® (8 x 12 mm), made of Ti-6AL-4V ELI, allow secure tibial fixation without tilting the buttons. Graft tension is checked with the tensiometer and corrected by turning the fixation button using the button key. This ensures safe and easy handling.
