Open Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair Technique

The new FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ repair uses an innovative soft-tissue fixation device for the treatment of insertional Achilles pathology. The collagen-coated 1.7 mm FiberTape® suture and knotless ripstop provide a repair with a greater area of compression over the distal Achilles, improving stability to support postoperative weightbearing and range of motion.1
