As the first adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation implant to use a flat SutureTape design, the ACL TightRope II implant offers better handling characteristics and is more resistant to graft abrasion or tissue pull-through than traditional round sutures.1 Engineered for precise graft tensioning, the adjustable-loop mechanism allows for incremental retensioning of the graft …

The next evolution in adjustable cortical suspensory fixation, the ACL TightRope II implant includes a flat-tape TightRope loop for improved graft interface and handling characteristics during graft tensioning and greater resistance to graft abrasion. 1 Engineered to enable precise graft tensioning and incremental retensioning of the construct after cortical button fixation, this …

An innovative approach to ACL preservation, the ACL Repair TightRope implant enables precise, incremental repair tensioning and retensioning. Additionally, the FiberRing suture allows for simplified and reproducible suture passing and implant loading. Careful analysis of historical data has revealed that certain ACL tear subgroups, especially proximal tears with good tissue …

04 I ACL TightRope® Attachable Button System (ABS) ABS Button Overview The TightRope® ABS implant has revolutionized tibial fixation of ACL and PCL grafts. TightRope ABS loops can be used on all graft types and attached to a variety of button configurations for fixation over flipcut sockets or full tunnels with concave buttons.

The ACL TightRope implant has revolutionized cortical fixation by allowing intraoperative adjustability of cortical fixation while providing a stiff, strong construct due to the proprietary 4-point locking system.1,2 Use the ACL TightRope implant to pull tensioning strands in the same

Mar 16, 2023 · ACL TightRope implant is a four-point knotless fixation system, which provides adjustable cortical fixation for cruciate ligament reconstruction. The implant eliminates the need for multiple implant sizes and facilitates complete graft fill of short femoral sockets, which are common with anatomic ACL drilling. ...

Cut shortening strands with a closed-end TightRope® Suture Cutter. ACL TightRope RT is also ideal for All-inside ACL Reconstruction (4a) since it facilitates incremental graft advancement and tensioning after tibial fixation has been completed. ACL TightRope RT may also be used on the tibial side with the GraftLink® procedure (4b). See ...

ACL TightRope® II Implant I 03 TightRope® II RT-2J and TightRope II RT-IB Implants ACL TightRope II RT Implant With Additional Flipping Suture The TightRope II RT implant is the first adjustable-loop device made from a SutureTape. The tape design offers better handling characteristics, improved biomechanics, and reduced graft abrasion.1

ACL Reconstruction (Arthrex® TightRope®) The anterior cruciate ligament, commonly called the ACL, is one of the ligaments that connects the femur to the tibia. During this procedure, a damaged ACL is replaced with a graft. The surgeon performs this procedure with the aid of an arthroscopic camera.

ACL TightRope® Attachable Button SystemI 09 Technique: Fixation Over Full Tunnels After passing the graft transtibially, attach the TightRope ABS button to the proximal ABS loop by inserting each side into its respective slot and pulling the button down to the spliced area where it will be locked onto the loop (1a).
