It works seamlessly with all standard arthroscopic instruments, and its radiopaque markers support controlled placement and verification within live imaging environments.
FAQ's of Endo Button Adjustable with loop washer:
Q: How is the Endo Button Adjustable with loop washer used in orthopedic surgery?
A: This implant is primarily used for suspensory fixation of soft tissue grafts during ACL/PCL reconstruction. Surgeons insert the button through a drilled bone tunnel and secure the ligament graft using the adjustable suture loop, ensuring proper tension and anatomical placement.
Q: What materials are used in the button and loop washer of this implant?
A: The button is engineered from titanium or stainless steel for optimal strength and biocompatibility. The loop washer is made from high-performance polyester or UHMWPE, which provides additional stability to the graft fixation.
Q: When should the length of the adjustable loop be customized?
A: The loop length should be customized based on individual patient anatomy and surgical requirements. The implant allows loop lengths from 15mm to 60mm, supporting precise graft positioning for each reconstruction case.
Q: Where should the Endo Button Adjustable be stored prior to use?
A: The device should be stored in a dry, sterilized environment in its individual sterile blister pack to maintain E.O. sterilization and ensure the shelf life of up to five years.
