Patient Advantages and Better Outcomes
Accurate Ligament ReconstructionThe Endo Button Adjustable Loop offers high fixation stability for ACL and PCL reconstruction thanks to its adjustable UHMWPE loop and sturdily engineered button, available in customizable sizes. Designed for single-use and packaged in a double sterile barrier, it assures patient safety and ease of surgical use. Surgeons benefit from its knotless design and precise tensioning, making ligament fixation reliable during even the most demanding procedures.
Advanced Materials and TechnologyManufactured using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for the loop and titanium alloy or stainless steel for the button, this implant delivers exceptional durability and biocompatibility. The radiolucent loop ensures that follow-up imaging remains clear, while the adjustable system facilitates precise intraoperative customization to meet diverse patient needs.
Convenient and Safe Surgical ApplicationReady-to-use, sterile, and lightweight (less than 8 grams), this implant simplifies handling and reduces the risk of contamination. Its compatibility with most fixation devices and easy portability support efficient surgical workflows, underpinning its value for hospitals and clinics. Each unit is securely packed and marked with a five-year shelf life to guarantee freshness and safety.
FAQ's of Endo Button Adjustable Loop:
Q: How is the Endo Button Adjustable Loop used in ligament reconstruction surgery?
A: The Endo Button Adjustable Loop is used to securely fix grafts during anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) reconstruction procedures. Surgeons insert the adjustable loop through a bone tunnel, position the radiolucent loop for graft placement, and apply manual tensioning to achieve accurate and secure fixation.
Q: What benefits does the radiolucent UHMWPE loop provide during and after surgery?
A: The radiolucent UHMWPE loop does not interfere with X-rays or other imaging, allowing for clear, precise postoperative assessment of graft placement and bone healing. This improves monitoring and outcomes for patients undergoing ligament reconstruction.
Q: When should the different adjustable loop sizes be selected?
A: Surgeons select the appropriate loop size (ranging from 15 mm to 60 mm, with custom sizes available) based on the patient's anatomical requirements and graft length for optimal fit and secure fixation during ligament reconstruction procedures.
Q: Where can the Endo Button Adjustable Loop be stored before use?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve sterility and functionality. Each product is individually packed in a double sterile barrier and should not be opened until just prior to surgery.
Q: What is the process for intraoperative adjustment and repositioning with this implant?
A: The knotless, adjustable loop design enables the surgeon to fine-tune the tension and length of the loop during surgery, ensuring precise graft positioning and secure fixation. Repositioning can be performed manually until the desired stability is achieved before final fixation.
Q: Is the Endo Button Adjustable Loop compatible with other fixation devices?
A: Yes, the implant is designed to be compatible with most standard fixation devices commonly used in ACL and PCL reconstruction procedures, making it versatile for a wide range of surgical techniques.
