About Endo Button Continuous Loop
The Endo Button 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.An Endobutton Continuous Loop is a device used in orthopedic surgery to connect grafts to bone during the repair or rebuilding of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Technical specification:Endo Button Loop Size: L 12mm X W 2mm X H 1.5mmExceptional Strength and StabilityThe Endo Button Continuous Loop employs a continuous UHMWPE loop and a titanium alloy button for maximum strength and durability. Offering high mechanical load-bearing capacity, it reliably secures grafts during ligament reconstruction, minimizing risk of failure and promoting excellent surgical outcomes.
Versatile Application in Orthopedic SurgeriesEngineered for compatibility with various bone tunnel diameters, this implant is ideal for ACL, PCL, and other soft tissue graft fixations. Its pre-assembled design streamlines the surgical process, accommodating a range of loop sizes to cover diverse operative needs.
Assured Safety and QualityManufactured under stringent quality standards, each unit is sterilized through ethylene oxide or gamma methods and individually packed to preserve sterility. The biocompatible materials and radiolucent UHMWPE loop further enhance patient safety and post-operative care.
FAQ's of Endo Button Continuous Loop:
Q: How is the Endo Button Continuous Loop used in orthopedic surgeries?
A: The Endo Button Continuous Loop is used to securely fix soft tissue grafts, such as ACL or PCL ligaments, to bone during reconstructive surgeries. The pre-assembled UHMWPE loop passes through the bone tunnel, and the titanium alloy button anchors the graft, providing stable, high-strength fixation.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this orthopedic implant?
A: Key benefits include high tensile strength, reliable graft fixation, biocompatibility, compatibility with various bone tunnel sizes, radiolucency for clear imaging, and ease of use due to its pre-assembled and single-use design. These features ensure precise and stable outcomes in ligament or tendon reconstruction.
Q: When should the Endo Button Continuous Loop be used?
A: This implant is indicated for use during ACL, PCL, and other soft tissue graft fixation procedures where strong and stable attachment is essential for optimal healing and restoration of function.
Q: What is the process for implanting the Endo Button Continuous Loop?
A: The process involves threading the pre-assembled loop through the bone tunnel along with the graft. Once positioned, the titanium alloy button anchors on the cortical side of the bone, and the continuous loop secures the graft in place for stable reconstruction.
Q: Where should the product be stored before use?
A: The Endo Button Continuous Loop should be stored in dry, sterile conditions as per the packaging instructions. This ensures the implant maintains its sterility and structural integrity until the time of surgery.
Q: What is the shelf life and packaging of the Endo Button Continuous Loop?
A: This implant is packaged individually in a sterile pack and has a shelf life of five years, provided it is stored under recommended conditions to preserve its safety and effectiveness.
Q: Is the Endo Button Continuous Loop suitable for different patient anatomies?
A: Yes, it is available in various loop sizes (15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm) and is compatible with multiple bone tunnel diameters, making it adaptable for diverse surgical requirements and patient anatomies.
