OSSIO, a medical technology company focused on orthopedic surgery with bio-integrative, metal-free implants, recently expanded its soft-tissue fixation portfolio with the launch of OSSIOfiber 2.5mm Suture Anchors.
- Smaller. OSSIOfiber 2.5mm Suture Anchors are designed for procedures like Brostrom repair, a standard surgery to fix lateral ankle instability.
- Stronger. These new fixation implants offer 55% greater pull-out strength over the market-leading 2.4mm bio-composite suture anchor.
- Smarter. As with the rest of the company’s expanding product portfolio, OSSIOfiber Suture Anchors feature a novel material engineered without metal to integrate into bone, leaving a more natural orthopedic landscape with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
The device’s physical design supports an array of standard surgical techniques for fixating suture or soft tissue with a procedural workflow and instrumentation set that are both familiar and efficient, including drill bits and a slotted drill guide for easy drilling and anchor insertion. In addition, its versatile configuration options—specifically, unloaded and pre-loaded devices—allow for technical flexibility and respect varying surgeon preferences.
