ARTHROVIMS BR

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document describes the ARTHROVIMS® BR bioabsorbable suture anchor, designed for rotator cuff repair in shoulder surgeries. It highlights the product's composition, mechanical properties, and usage instructions.

Product Specifications
The ARTHROVIMS® BR is a bioabsorbable screw anchor available in two versions: with two UHMWPE sutures or a combination of a suture and a tape. The knotless version is also available. The anchor is made from a biocomposite of 70% Polylactic Acid (PLA) and 30% tricalcium phosphate (B-TCP), ensuring biocompatibility and controlled resorption.

Mechanical Properties
The anchor features a double thread design to enhance pull-out strength. The homogeneous distribution of TCP particles within the PLA matrix improves mechanical properties, maintaining them for six months. The anchor becomes undetectable after 24 months.

Sutures Advantages
The sutures are made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), offering high tensile strength and smooth knot sliding. They are available in two configurations: two USP2 sutures or one USP2 suture with a 1.4mm tape.

Storage and Handling
The product must be stored in its original packaging at temperatures below 32°C. It is sterilized by ethylene oxide and intended for single use only. Re-sterilization is not recommended.

Instrumentation
Specific instrumentation for arthroscopic procedures is available, and the anchor must be used with the corresponding tap supplied by VIMS.

Product Variants
The document lists various product sizes and configurations, including both sutured and knotless versions, with specific reference numbers for each.

Recommendations
Health professionals are advised to read the labels and instructions for use (IFU) carefully before using the product.
