Tactoset-VAC

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Tactoset® is an injectable bone substitute developed by Anika, designed to address bone voids and bone marrow lesions (BMLs) that contribute to osteoarthritis. BMLs are diagnosed using MRI as they are not visible on X-rays.
Technology Overview
Tactoset is a calcium phosphate-based material that supports new bone growth by converting to hydroxyapatite after hardening. It can be mixed with bone marrow aspirate for enhanced osteoconductivity.
Hardware Augmentation
Tactoset improves surgical outcomes by increasing bone density and anchor pullout strength, especially in osteoporotic bones, allowing optimal anchor placement.
Components
The Tactoset kit includes a pre-filled mixing syringe, a glass syringe with setting solution, Luer lock syringes, and a connector. Delivery cannulas are available for side and end delivery.
Therapy Advantages
Tactoset offers enhanced flowability and injectability, facilitated by hyaluronic acid. Its closed mixing system minimizes exposure, and its cannula design allows easy intraoperative switching.
Product Attributes
Tactoset is osteoconductive, with compressive strength similar to cancellous bone and a non-exothermic setting reaction. It significantly increases anchor pullout strength.
Mixing Instructions
The mixing process involves combining the powder and setting solution, followed by loading into syringes for injection. Timing is crucial for effective use.
Surgical Techniques
Knee: Involves MRI and fluoroscopic guidance for cannula placement and continuous pressure injection.
Shoulder: Similar steps with attention to anchor placement and injection timing.
Preclinical Data
Studies in rabbits demonstrated Tactoset's osteoconductivity, with new bone growth observed at the implant interface.
Reimbursement
Anika provides a hotline for reimbursement and coding inquiries, supported by MCRA experts.
Specifications and Intended Use
Tactoset hardens and converts to hydroxyapatite at body temperature, used for defects not intrinsic to bone stability, and can be combined with autogenous bone marrow.
Contraindications
Not for use in acute or chronic infections, nonviable bone, altered calcium metabolism, and other specified conditions.
Warnings
Single-use product, should not be resterilized. Adequate fixation is critical for unstable defects.
Precautions
Use by experienced surgeons with aseptic technique. The defect site should be fully filled for maximum contact with host bone.
Possible Complications
May include tissue thinning, infection, swelling, and neurovascular injuries. Re-operation may be required.
Regulatory Information
FDA classified Tactoset as a Class II device under regulation 21 CFR 888.3045.
Medical Education and Support
Anika offers medical education programs and customer support, including national courses and a reimbursement hotline.
References and Ordering Information
Includes studies on knee osteoarthritis, bone marrow lesions, and efficacy of treatments like sodium hyaluronate and bioactive glass scaffolds.
Company Information
Anika Therapeutics, Inc. is based in Bedford, MA, specializing in products for active living, with information intended for markets with regulatory approval.

Mixing Instructions Hydration of Tactoset powder5 Step 1 | Unpacking • Open packaging and transfer contents to the sterile field using sterile technique. Loosen stopper on each 1 mL syringe by pulling plunger rod back slightly to break seal. Remove the cap from the prefilled mixing syringe containing the powder (do not discard). • Remove the cap from the glass syringe. Note: If mixing with BMA, see instructions for use or visit www.anikaifu.com before proceeding to the next step. • Using a female-female Luer lock connector, attach the glass syringe containing the setting solution to the mixing...

Shoulder Surgical Technique • Using a spinal needle percutaneously, identify the desired point of anchor placement most proximal to the affected bone. Take care to use a perpendicular approach in relation to the cortical surface to ensure proper drilling trajectory Make a small stab incision at the needle site for the 11Ga Tactoset cannula placement Under power, drill the 11Ga cannula to the approximate depth of the selected anchor using the laser lines as guidance. Avoid multiple drill attempts as this could result in extravasation of the material Left shoulder, anterior view: cyst shows up...
