ENDOBUTTON CL Fixation Device

Simple, strong and stiff for more solid ACL reconstruction

Introducing one of the strongest soft tissue fixation devices for cruciate reconstruction, the ENDOBUTTON^◊ CL fixation device. Its pre-threaded, continuous loop of suture demonstrates among the highest failure loads of any competitive device. The ENDOBUTTON^◊ CL fixation device offers simple rigid fixation.

Benefits and Features

Truly endoscopic procedure–does not require a second incision

Standard technique allows for endoscopic revision without lateral
incision and bone removal

Consistent cortical fixation–does not rely on cancellous bone
quality

Multiple sizes allow surgeon to determine length of graft to
insert in the femoral socket

The only soft tissue fixation device that can be used with twin
socket techniques
