## Indications for use
The non-absorbable suture anchors are intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures. The Y-Knotless™ Flex Anchors may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone in skeletally mature pediatric and adult patients. The suture anchor systems thereby stabilize the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period.
