As the importance of the acetabular labrum becomes more widely understood, it is suggested that labral repair can positively affect patient outcomes and help maintain healthy function of the hip joint. Smith & Nephew has developed a complete labral repair system that includes the first suture anchors introduced for labral refixation specifically in the hip. You will have the strength, reliability and convenience you need to offer your patients a more flexible future. Think hip arthroscopy from Smith & Nephew.
The BIORAPTOR◊ Hip Suture Anchor is the secure solution for bioabsorbable fixation. With its cutting-edge design and simple "tap-in" procedure, the BIORAPTOR◊ Hip Suture Anchor offers a flexible surgical technique for acetabular labral repair. The hip version features special window and etchmark placings to facilitate better visualization during anchor insertion. It also includes an extra robust drill guide specifically for hip arthroscopy.
The BIORAPTOR◊ Hip Suture Anchor also includes non-absorbable ULTRABRAID◊ Suture, the standard among high-strength sutures. ULTRABRAID◊ Suture is constructed of a special ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber that has higher knot-breaking strength, greater lubricity and a stronger resistance to fraying than traditional polyester sutures.
The CLEAR-TRAC◊ COMPLETE Disposable Hip Cannula System was designed with arthroscopic surgeons specifically for use in hip arthroscopy. The clear material gives you the ability to view the suture and instruments within the cannula and distinguish depth of field. The partially threaded design allows for easy insertion and excellent retention in the joint.
