The X-Twist™ is a knotless, open architecture, and fast inserting suture anchor system available in multiple sliding suture and suture tape configurations.
Available in either PEEK or Biocomposite with three anchor diameters, the X-Twist Fixation System is designed for versatility. X-Twist is well suited for single or double row, in medial and/or lateral row applications, and in both knotless and fully knotted constructs, to reproducibly and confidently repair soft tissue to bone.
Key Features & Benefits
Anchor Design
Available in PEEK or Biocomposite anchors
Ample PEEK distal eyelet simultaneously accommodates up to four 2mm tapes plus three #2 sutures
Anchor body features a double helix threaded design with high thread pitch
Open architecture design with vents around the anchor body intended to enhance marrow flow to the repair site to support healing and bony ingrowth for longer-term stability
Suture Options
Solid color and striped sutures to support intra-operative suture management
Sliding retention sutures can be incorporated into repair to address patient specific needs
Static suture tape for medial row application provides a broad footprint, maximizing the surface area of tendon to bone compression to support tendon integrity and healing to bone
Driver
Unique “X” shaped X-Spline™ drive geometry
Firmly holds anchor body position on driver shaft prior to insertion
Provides over 2 times the torsional efficiency of a traditional hex drive design for reliable insertion, even in hard bone
