SutureLoc™ Implant

A knotless all-suture anchor, the SutureLoc implant is specifically designed for joint-line fixation of the meniscal root. This revolutionary anchor eliminates the need for a posterior medial portal, which is commonly used in direct tibial fixation techniques, making the repair more reproducible. The 2.4 mm cannulated drill pin leaves more bone intact while delivering the SutureLasso™ wire directly to the footprint of the meniscal root. Once the anchor has been passed, the 2 repair sutures can be passed through the tissue in a variety of stitch patterns. The knotless implant is retensionable, allowing surgeons to dial in their repair.

Features and Benefits

  • Double-loaded knotless mechanism allows for 2 repair stitches with only 1 anchor pass, reducing steps from previous techniques
  • Soft, all-suture implant
  • Minimal bone removal with a smaller, 2.4 mm drill pin and no need to decorticate
  • Simple, reproducible suture passing
  • Suture tension can be controlled and adjusted under direct visualization
  • Repair sutures are converted in line, eliminating the potential for the suture to cut into bone
  • 236.8 N of pull-out strength and 0.34 mm of cyclic displacement1
