The 4.5 mm-diameter bicortical post has an extremely low-profile head to reduce soft-tissue irritation. A 2.5 mm drill for bicortical post is used to broach the cortical bone, while the depth device provides accurate sizing information. The optional low-profile, spiked washer may be used in conjunction with the bicortical post for soft-tissue tendon fixation of soft tissue tendons directly to bone.&nbsp;
The posts and washers are manufactured using titanium ASTM F-136 alloy. The smooth, concave-shaped washer securely traps attached sutures and bulky suture knots atraumatically under the low-profile washer to eliminate potential soft-tissue irritation. The spiked washer facilitates direct soft tissue or ligament fixation to bone.
Ligament staples with a low-profile bridge reduce the frequency of secondary removal due to patient discomfort caused by soft-tissue irritation. The cobalt chrome spiked fixation staple has sharp leg points for easier penetration into cortical bone without predrilling. The staple driver with attachable impactor/extractor allows complete impaction since the staple driver tip is flush with the staple bridge. The staple seating punch may be used for further impaction. All staples are 20 mm.
Finally, the two-piece TensionLoc™ implant system is designed to fix suture during ligament reconstruction procedures. Using this technique, tibial suture fixation is shown for a single- or double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). A unique alternative to standard suture buttons, the TensionLoc implant allows suture-button maintenance for suture tension adjustments during knot tying. The low-profile PEEK implant sits flush and securely within the tunnel.

Arthrex offers a wide variety of suture with needles, including SutureTape, FiberWire®, TigerWire®, and #2 FiberWire suture.
SutureTape is a flat-braided suture more resistant to tissue pull-through,1 offering improved handling and stronger knot security1 with smaller, comparable knot stacks.
FiberWire and TigerWire suture are both high-strength options available on implants and packaged separately with and without needles. FiberWire suture is constructed of a multistrand long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene core with a braided jacket of polyester and UHMWPE that&nbsp;provides strength, abrasion resistance, and a soft feel.&nbsp;FiberWire suture is blue and TigerWire suture is white with a black stripe in the suture for easy identification.
#2 FiberWire suture on straight needles comes in two needle options: a single needle attached to 38 in of #2 FiberWire suture or two needles each attached to an end of 38 in of #2 FiberWire suture. These are ideal for creating a variety locking stitch patterns for avulsions of large tendons, such as the quadriceps, patellar, pectoral, or Achilles.
