About Endo Button Flex with Brace
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.Advanced Features:
- Improved Fixation Strength
- Stress Reduction and Better Healing
- Technique with Minimal Invasion
- Widespread Use and Flexibility
- Patient Advantages and Better Outcomes
Flexible and Robust DesignEngineered with an adjustable, suture-based loop using ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), this device enables straightforward graft passage and optimal tensioning for ACL reconstruction. Its flexible and lightweight nature allows surgeons to navigate anatomical challenges with ease while maintaining impressive pull strength and tensile reliability.
Reliable Sterility and SafetyThe Endo Button Flex with Brace is EO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilized and presented in individually sealed pouches, ensuring that each implant meets stringent hygiene standards for surgical environments. Its five-year shelf life and corrosion resistance also contribute to long-term safety and efficacy, offering peace of mind for both surgical teams and patients.
Precision Engineering for Superior OutcomesManufactured with a laser-cut, precision-machined titanium alloy button, this device secures soft tissue grafts to bone with exceptional accuracy. The radiopaque marker facilitates intraoperative imaging, allowing for real-time verification of implant placement, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment and enhancing post-operative recovery.
FAQs of Endo Button Flex with Brace:
Q: How is the Endo Button Flex with Brace used during ACL reconstruction?
A: The Endo Button Flex with Brace is used to secure a soft tissue graft to bone during ACL reconstruction. Its adjustable, suture-based UHMWPE loop allows surgeons to pass grafts easily and tension them reliably, while the titanium alloy button provides a stable anchor.
Q: What graft types are compatible with this orthopedic implant accessory?
A: This implant is designed to be compatible with various graft types, providing flexibility for surgeons to choose the optimal graft material based on individual patient needs and surgical techniques.
Q: When should the Endo Button Flex with Brace be chosen for surgery?
A: It is best suited for ACL reconstruction and other soft tissue fixation procedures in adult and adolescent patients when secure, reliable fixation and easy graft passage are essential for surgical success.
Q: Where should I store the Endo Button Flex with Brace before use?
A: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain sterility and integrity throughout its five-year shelf life.
Q: What sterilization process is used and how does it ensure safety?
A: The implant is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO), which effectively eliminates microbial contamination. Each device is individually packed in a sealed pouch to maintain sterility until the moment of use.
Q: What are the key benefits of its design and material selection?
A: The combination of UHMWPE and titanium alloy delivers high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight construction. Its precision engineering and radiopaque marker support accurate placement and intraoperative imaging, contributing to superior surgical outcomes.
