The unique design of the TWINFIX◊ SUTURE ANCHORS combines high resistance to pullout from our patented thread design with optimal knot tying from the DURABRAID◊ SUTURE.
TWINFIX◊ SUTURE ANCHOR come preloaded with #2 DURABRAID◊ SUTURE. DURABRAID◊ SUTURE is a unique brand of Smith & Nephew braided polyester suture.
DURABRAID◊ SUTURE is the perfect mix of strength, feel, sliding ability, and knot security for shoulder surgeons performing arthroscopic or mini-open procedures. DURABRAID◊ SUTURE requires no special cutting instruments.
TWINFIX◊ SUTURE ANCHORS are offered in a variety of sizes and materials, with needles and without, depending on your technique and requirements.
Tapered anchor body is mated to the dilator to reduce the insertion torque thereby reducing anchor breakage. Suture eyelets are located deeper in the anchor body to reduce suture pullout under cyclic loading.
TWINFIX◊ Ti and TWINFIX◊ AB SUTURE ANCHORS have a newly designed inserter handle that meets the changing needs of the arthroscopic surgeon. This robust handle provides new capabilities that give you more control in deploying Smith & Nephew suture anchors, when and where you need them.
Improved suture track - Ensures smooth suture release.
External suture posts - Protects and controls the sutures.
