What is all suture anchor?
All suture anchors (ASAs) have proven valuable for soft tissue to bone fixation. They have a small footprint and can be inserted in tight spaces where little bone is available.
Do labrum anchors dissolve?
The anchors are generally made of material that dissolve over 2 years after the repair has healed. These anchors are placed in the bone. The suture attached to the anchor is then passed through the torn labrum and tied down to bring the labrum back to the bone as it was originally before it was torn.
What is a FiberStitch implant?
The FiberStitch™ implant is an innovative all-inside meniscal repair system that replaces hard PEEK implants with soft suture sheaths. 2-0 FiberWire® suture provides secure arthroscopic all-suture meniscus repair.
What is arthrex FiberTape made of?
FiberWire® suture is constructed of a multi-strand, long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) core with a braided jacket of polyester and UHMWPE that gives FiberWire® superior strength, soft feel and abrasion resistance that is unequaled in orthopaedic surgery.
What is suture tape made of?
Suture materials adhesive surgical tape (various sizes) synthetic braided threads. synthetic monofilament threads, e.g. nylon, polypropylene. natural materials, e.g. silk, cotton.
What is fiber tape made of?

What are Arthrex suture anchors used for?
Arthrex suture anchors are designed to repair soft tissue to bone through a variety of innovative anchor styles, materials and suture configurations. See also: Knotless Suture Anchors, Knotted Suture Anchors
What is Arthrex swivelock made of?
Arthrex – SwiveLock® Anchors The SwiveLock anchor is offered for CCLs and soft tissue-to-bone reattachment. Made with an inert, radiolucent, and non-absorbable thermosplastic material called PEEK, this anchoring system allows for knotted or knotless reconstructions. Common sizes include 3.5 mm, 4.75 mm, and 5.5 mm sizes.
What is the size of the small bone fastak suture anchor?
The Small Bone FASTak suture anchor is a fully threaded, 2.4 mm x 7.5 mm titanium suture anchor that is preloaded with 2-0 FiberWire. It comes on a handled inserter with two 17.9 mm 3/8 circle swedged-on tapered needles.
What is fastfastak anchor?
