Suture Anchor
Revolutionizing rotator cuff repair with an open-architecture design
The HEALICOIL PK Suture Anchor differs from conventional solid-core implants by eliminating the inner diameter material. This allows for the bone to interdigitate within the anchor thread profile, providing excellent fixation security.* Even with a reduced volume of material, this anchor provides a superior level of biomechanical performance that surgeons
can have real confidence in.*
Less material with open-architecture design
• Unique open architecture reduces material left in the shoulder compared to conventional sold-core anchors; advantageous in double-row rotator cuff repair where multiple anchors are used.
Extended, fully-threaded anchor provides superior pullout strength
• Extended, fully-threaded anchor design provides significantly more threaded engagement than leading competitive anchors, delivering greater pullout strength in poor-quality, osteoporotic bone.*
100% inserter engagement provides high torsional strength
• The HEALICOIL Inserter engages 100% the anchor’s length, minimizing stress and providing predictable insertion – essential when placing anchors into hard bone.*
Proven biocompatibility from PEEK-OPTIMA® Polymer from Invibio®
• Proven biocompatibility, strength, and radiolucency.
