The FiberTak button is an all-suture button that can be used in lieu of traditional metal buttons for both bicortical and unicortical tension slide tenodesis techniques. The button is a reinforced 2.6 mm diameter sheath preloaded with two 2-0 FiberLink™ sutures that are used to shuttle the whipstitch limbs through the sheath.

FiberTak® Button Tenodesis Technique

Subpectoral biceps tenodesis using cortical buttons and the tension-slide technique allows for reliable tensioning and a bicortical or unicortical repair of the long head of the biceps.
Featuring a locking jaw, the TensionTight™ button is used for performing knotless onlay biceps tenodesis with an arthroscopic suprapectoral or open subpectoral approach. Securing the biceps tendon with a Loop 'N' Tack™ stitch enables an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral tenodesis.
With the bicortical technique, use the BicepsButton™ implant to draw the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. A tenodesis screw can be added to further support the repair. 
 
The unicortical technique requires the 8.5 mm long proximal tenodesis button, which has angled edges to promote a toggle effect when the button contacts the far cortex. The tension-slide technique reliably draws the tendon onto the humerus.

Cortical Button Tenodesis Technique

As part of the distal biceps repair procedure, the tension-slide technique with the BicepsButton™ implant provides a simple, reproducible, and biomechanically stable repair. This tensioning technique reliably draws the tendon against the distal cortex of the bone socket. Adding a tenodesis screw improves the biomechanical strength and allows the tendon to be placed in a more anatomic position.
The all-suture FiberTak® button can be used in lieu of traditional metal buttons for both bicortical and unicortical tension-slide tenodesis techniques.
