About Shoulder Instability - Suture Anchor
The Shoulder Instability - Suture Anchor is a medical implant used in orthopedic surgeries to repair and stabilize the shoulder joint. It is typically used to reattach soft tissues like ligaments and tendons to the bone. This device helps restore normal shoulder function in patients suffering from shoulder dislocations or chronic instability.

Advanced Anchoring Technology for Shoulder RepairsThis suture anchor is meticulously engineered for optimal grip and stability in bone, utilizing threaded or barbed designs. Compatible with most arthroscopic systems and featuring radiopaque markers, it supports precise placement under minimally invasive conditions. Its corrosion-resistant materials and high pull-out strength enable secure fixation, essential for reliable soft tissue healing.
Safety, Biocompatibility, and Versatile ApplicationISO 10993 certified, these anchors are available in medical-grade stainless steel or bioabsorbable polymer, making them safe and highly biocompatible. Sterilized by gamma or EO methods and individually packed, they are suitable for anterior and posterior shoulder instability, Bankart repair, SLAP lesions, and rotator cuff procedures.
FAQ's of Shoulder Instability - Suture Anchor:
Q: How is the suture anchor inserted during shoulder instability repair?
A: The anchor is placed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, allowing for precise and secure fixation of soft tissue to bone. This approach minimizes tissue trauma and supports rapid recovery.
Q: What types of suture materials are used with this anchor?
A: Each anchor comes preloaded with high-strength sutures made from either polyester or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, providing durable, reliable tissue fixation throughout the healing process.
Q: When should this suture anchor be used?
A: The anchor is indicated for shoulder instability treatments, such as anterior or posterior repairs, Bankart repair, SLAP lesions, and rotator cuff repair. It is suitable for both acute and chronic conditions requiring secure soft tissue attachment to bone.
Q: Where is this device manufactured and supplied?
A: The suture anchor is manufactured, exported, and supplied from India, ensuring adherence to international quality and medical standards.
Q: What is the process for maintaining sterility and shelf life of this product?
A: Each unit is individually packed and sterilized using either gamma rays or EO gas. For best results, store it in a cool, dry place and do not use if the sterile packaging is compromised. The typical shelf life is 3 to 5 years.
Q: How does the design of the anchor benefit surgical outcomes?
A: With either threaded or barbed options, and strong radiopaque high-strength sutures, the anchor achieves secure bone fixation, strong pull-out resistance (>150N), precise placement, and encourages tissue healing-all while maintaining a minimal profile.
