| | Product Description | |
| The Bio-Corkscrew FT (fully threaded) is a 5.5 mm diameter bioabsorbable suture anchor designed to be inserted flush with the cortical bone surface to maximize fixation strength and anchor stability. The fully threaded design substantially improves pull-out strength compared to suture anchors with protruding eyelets. The fully threaded design prevents anchor “pull-back” that may occur with countersunk anchors, which is especially advantageous when poor quality bone is encountered.
The Bio-Corkscrew FT has a unique FiberWire eyelet recessed into the body of the anchor which reduces suture abrasion at the eyelet during knot tying.
The Bio-Corkscrew FT’s strong internal square head drive mechanism substantially increases resistance to stripping during insertion to hard cortical bone. The Bio-Corkscrew Punch is always used to prepare a bone socket prior to insertion of the anchor. In most cases, no tapping will be needed prior to the anchor being implanted. When extreme cortical bone is present, the Cutting Tap for Bio-Corkscrew FT is used.
The Bio-Corkscrew FT comes preloaded with two #2 FiberWire sutures, one blue and one white/black, for easier suture management. The implant is also available with two 26 mm 1/2 circle cutting needles swedged on each suture for open procedures. | |
