Product catalog summary
Overview: The Y-Knot® RC Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor System is designed to provide strong fixation with a simple, self-punching technique. It aims to overcome the limitations of traditional rotator cuff anchors. The system includes the new Hi-Fi® Tape and Hi-Fi® Suture, which are shown to reduce abrasion and tendon tear-through.
Specifications: The Y-Knot® RC anchors have a 2.8mm footprint, requiring less bone removal compared to standard anchors. They expand to 5.0mm under the cortex for firm fixation, even in soft bone. The anchors are all-suture, making them less invasive and eliminating the risk of hard loose bodies.
Performance: The Y-Knot® RC anchors provide a pullout strength of 575N, which is stronger than traditional 5.5mm anchors. The system simplifies procedures by eliminating the need for creating and finding a pilot hole.
Hi-Fi® Tape and Suture: The Hi-Fi® Tape is 69% less abrasive than FiberTape and offers broader compression for increased tendon-to-bone interface. The Hi-Fi® Suture reduces the mean cutting rate by over 50% compared to FiberWire and FiberTape, leading to less tendon tear-through.
Product Variants: The Y-Knot® RC Anchor is available in different configurations, including options with Hi-Fi® Tape and multiple strands of Hi-Fi® Suture. Instruments for hard bone include disposable broaching punches and drill bits.
Clinical Insights: Dr. Don Buford highlights the anchor's suitability for routine or revision rotator cuff repair, emphasizing its small size and self-punching insertion that simplifies surgical procedures.
