KISSloc™

Product catalog summary

Suture System Overview
The KISSloc™ Suture System is designed for correcting Hallux Valgus by reducing the intramedullary angle between the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones. It features two low-profile titanium plates and a self-cinching suture construct, allowing for accurate tunnel placement and individual adjustment of the correction angle. The system uses strong #5 suture and small Ø1.2 mm bone tunnels to minimize stress and distribute load evenly.

Dynamic Loading Test Results
Comparative tests between KISSloc™ and Mini TightRope® show that KISSloc™ offers 35.2% higher construct durability, 32.9% higher load to failure, and 42% less construct slippage. These results indicate superior performance in terms of load distribution and durability.

Design and Functionality
The KISSloc™ system provides stability and flexibility without stiffness, allowing placement either proximally or distally. It locks motion in the coronal plane while permitting sagittal motion. The titanium plates are artifact-free, enhancing post-operative imaging.

Suture System The KISSloc™ Suture System consists of two low profile titanium plates and a self-cinching suture construct. The system corrects Hallux Valgus by reducing the intramedullary angle between the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones. KISSloc™ allows accurate tunnel placement, uses strong #5 suture, and the self-cinching feature adjusts the correction angle for each patient individually. The small Ø1.2 mm bone tunnels and low profile plates minimize stress risers and distributes the load across each bone bridge. Stability & flexibility without stiffness: KISSloc™ can be placed proximally or...
