Acl Reconstruction Suture Button

The new ACL TightRope® II implant is the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to employ a flat SutureTape design. It provides superior handling characteristics and is more resistant to graft abrasion or tissue pull-through than traditional round sutures.input:
output:One The adjustable-loop mechanism is designed to ensure precise graft tensioning and enables the incremental retensioning of the graft construct after the implants have been affixed to the cortex. The cortical button has been redesigned to include a proprietary knotless fifth locking mechanism, which enhances its resistance to cyclic displacement and increases its strength.Two In order to accommodate a variety of graft types and techniques, TightRope II implants are available in RT and BTB configurations, both of which are preloaded with a FiberTape® suture for the InternalBrace™ technique or loaded with an additional flipping suture. The ABS implant is available in two configurations: standard and open.
