Fully Threaded Corkscrew® Suture Anchors
BioComposite Corkscrew® FT, PEEK Corkscrew® FT, Corkscrew® FT
The fully threaded Corkscrew family of suture anchors

was designed for maximum fixation strength and simple
insertion. An internal drive mechanism is combined with
a unique FiberWire suture eyelet to allow for contin-
uous threads along the entire length of the anchor.
This design allows the anchor to be inserted flush with
the cortical bone surface providing excellent fixation
strength and stability while preventing the anchor
“pull-back” effect that can occur in conventional
anchors with protruding eyelets. The internal drive
configuration allows for high insertion torque and the
suture eyelet self-aligns to eliminate the need for spe-
cific eyelet orientation at the tissue edge. The anchors
are double-loaded with FiberWire suture to provide the
best possible combination for superior repair strength.

SpeedFix™ Knotless Single Row Rotator Cuff Repair
SpeedFix™
Quick and secure single-row fixation can be obtained

with the SpeedFix. The SpeedFix takes advantage of
the PassPort Button cannula and the SCORPION-
multifire suture passer. The SCORPION-multifire suture
passer is used to pass an inverted mattress stitch in
1 step. The flexible PassPort cannulas help maximize
visibility and maneuverability inside and outside of
the arthroscopic work space. The double-dam 1-piece
molded design has low profile flanges that seat flush to
the skin and soft tissue. These flanges create a
stable portal that allows instruments to be inserted
and removed, without the concern of cannula loss.
