Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Inion FixOn™ Biocomposite Suture Anchor is designed for rotator cuff surgery, offering excellent performance throughout the healing period. It is made from a biocomposite material combining PLGA and osteoconductive β-TCP, with the polymer component expected to degrade within 2-3 years. The product is sterile and comes preloaded on a single-use driver with two or three nonabsorbable sutures.
Key Benefits
  • Visibility: The anchor is the only colored biocomposite suture anchor available, using D&C Green No. 6 pigment for enhanced visibility during operations.
  • Suture Strength: Equipped with highly visible, strong Suprabraid™ sutures made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
  • Insertion and Fixation: Features a cannulated, fully threaded design for fast insertion and improved fixation strength, with an awl-only insertion technique suitable for most bone densities.
  • Material Composition: Offers biocompatibility, strength, and degradation properties supported by test data and clinical studies.
Ordering Information
  • Implants: Available in sizes 4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, and 6.5 mm, each with options for two or three sutures.
  • Instruments: Includes reusable taps and awls for each anchor size, and a 2nd level tray compatible with the Inion® Shoulder instrument tray.
Performance Data
  • Axial Fixation Strength: The Inion FixOn™ demonstrates superior axial fixation strength compared to the DePuy Mitek Healix Advance™ BR across all sizes in 12 pcf foam bone.
  • Eyelet Strength: Over 16 weeks in vitro at 37°C, the 4.5 mm Inion FixOn™ shows consistent eyelet strength compared to the DePuy Mitek Healix Advance™ BR.
