About endo button
The Endo Button Fix is extensively used in orthopedic surgery, particularly in the repair and rebuilding of the knee's anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It is a non-traditional method of connecting grafts to bone during ACL restoration treatments.
Advanced Features:
- Improved Fixation Strength
- Stress Reduction and Better Healing
- Technique with Minimal Invasion
- Widespread Use and Flexibility
- Patient Advantages and Better Outcomes
- ETO Sterile
Advanced Fixation TechnologyUtilizing button-type suspensory fixation, the endo button delivers reliable stabilization for tissue grafts during orthopedic procedures. Its radiolucent design optionally includes markers for accurate imaging, enhancing surgical precision and post-operative assessment.
User-Centric Design and VersatilityEngineered for ease of use, each device is pre-sterilized and individually packed, ensuring immediate availability in the operating room. Custom sizing options accommodate a wide range of patient requirements, making it suitable for diverse ligament reconstruction surgeries.
Durability and Safety AssuranceMade from corrosion- and fatigue-resistant materials such as titanium or stainless steel, the endo button can withstand demanding surgical environments. The polished, atraumatic edges ensure minimal tissue irritation, and each device is fully biocompatible, supporting patient safety.
FAQ's of endo button:
Q: How is the endo button used in ligament reconstruction procedures?
A: The endo button acts as a fixation and stabilization device for tissue grafts, typically in ACL, PCL, or multi-ligament knee surgeries. After inserting the graft, the button is secured using a compatible loop or suture, maintaining graft position during healing.
Q: What procedures is this endo button suitable for?
A: This device is applicable for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, as well as multi-ligament knee surgeries where reliable tissue fixation is required.
Q: When should a custom size endo button be requested?
A: Custom sizes are recommended if standard dimensions do not match the patient's specific anatomical or surgical requirements. These can be ordered upon request from the manufacturer or supplier.
Q: Where should the endo button be stored before use?
A: Each endo button should be stored in a clean, dry environment, ideally within its original sterile blister packaging to maintain its sterility until use in surgery.
Q: What benefits does the endo button offer over traditional fixation methods?
A: It provides high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and atraumatic edges, minimizing potential tissue damage. The device is lightweight, silent during operation, and ensures secure graft fixation, enhancing the overall surgical outcome.
Q: What is the process for ensuring the endo button remains sterile until surgery?
A: Each device is pre-sterilized and individually blister-packed. It should remain sealed until immediately needed, following standard aseptic protocols to preserve sterility.
Q: Can the endo button be reused and what is its shelf life?
A: Depending on the model, the endo button may be single-use or reusable. Always consult the product labeling. It has a shelf life of five years, provided proper storage conditions are maintained.
