What is it indicated for?
The non-absorbable implant is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures.
The devices may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
