SutureBridge™ and SpeedBridge™

The SutureBridge™ and SpeedBridge™ are novel concepts in Achilles reattachment, following debridement. While standard anchor fixation of the tendon creates only a single point of compression directly over the anchor, the SutureBridge enables an hourglass pattern of FiberWire suture to be laid over the distal end of the tendon. This four-anchor construct enables a greater area of compression for the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus, improving stability and possibly allowing for earlier return to normal activities. The SpeedBridge enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape® suture to be laid over the distal end of the tendon. This four-anchor construct enables a true knotless repair and a greater area of compression for the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus, improving stability and possibly allowing for earlier return to normal activities.

Minimally Invasive FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair Implant System
Minimally Invasive FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair Implant System
The new MIS FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ repair implant system is a novel concept in Achilles reattachment following Haglund’s debridement. This repair enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape® suture and knotless rip-stop sutures to be laid over the tendon’s distal end in a completely knotless 4-anchor configuration. The Achilles SpeedBridge repair provides rigid tendon fixation with improved tendon-to-bone opposition, allowing for immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion.
PARS Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ Implant System
PARS Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ Implant System
Open repair of acute Achilles tendon ruptures continues to remain controversial among surgeons as they weigh the tradeoffs of reduced re-rupture rates, improved calf strength, and increased return to activity against potential wound healing and infectious complications.1 With the PARS Achilles Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ (AMSS) implant system, surgeons no longer have to compromise.
Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair
Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair
The Arthrex SpeedBridge repair is an innovative soft-tissue fixation device used in the treatment of Achilles injuries. While standard anchor fixation of the tendon creates only a single point of compression directly over the anchor, the SpeedBridge repair enables an hourglass pattern of FiberTape® suture to be laid over the distal end of the tendon. This 4-anchor construct enables a true knotless repair and a greater area of compression for the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus, improving stability such that immediate postoperative weightbearing and range of motion is possible.1
