Part of the FiberWire® suture family, FiberLoop® is FiberWire suture where both ends of the suture are attached to a single needle, creating a suture loop. FiberLoop is the perfect suture option for multi-strand tendon repairs. These small diameter looped FiberWire products allow for strong multi-strand flexor and extensor tendon repairs while reducing tendon damage from multiple needle passes. FiberLoop is available with multiple needle options to prevent cutting suture while stitching.

FiberLoop suture, part of the FiberWire® suture family, has both of its ends attached to a single needle, creating a suture loop. FiberLoop suture is the perfect option for multi-strand tendon repairs. These small-diameter looped FiberWire products allow for strong multi-strand flexor and extensor tendon repairs while reducing tendon damage from multiple needle passes. FiberLoop suture is available with multiple needle options to prevent cutting suture while stitching. The #2 FiberLoop suture is a continuous loop of #2 FiberWire suture on a thin, straight Nitinol needle. The straight needle is easy to handle and moves freely on the suture to recenter itself after passing through tissue and to facilitate even tensioning. #2 TigerLoop™ suture has distinctive stripes to help differentiate graft strands during tensioning.

Procedure

Dorsal reconstruction of the scapholunate ligament with the 3.5 mm DX SwiveLock SL anchor is indicated for dynamic and static scapholunate instability where there is inadequate ligament to repair, the carpal cartilage is preserved (no arthrosis) and the carpus is reducible. The reconstruction is achieved by utilizing a strong anchor construct that incorporates a combination of a biologic tendon graft reconstruction into bony tunnels with static suture reinforcement with InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation. Together, this construct supports the connection of and between the bones so that graft incorporation can take place.

DX SwiveLock® SL Anchor for Scapholunate Ligament Repair

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears of the thumb are common injuries. When the tear results in pain and instability, surgical repair offers a predictably successful outcome. Augmenting the reconstruction with SutureTape to create an InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation results in a strong construct that allows for early motion and limited postoperative immobilization.1

DX SwiveLock® SL Anchor Thumb Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation used with tenodesis screws or SwiveLock® anchors allows earlier joint motion and faster return to activity.1 The 2.5 mm × 6 mm and 3 mm × 8 mm tenodesis screws can be used in conjunction with SutureTape to reconstruct and augment the thumb UCL ligament.
