Smith+Nephew, the global medical technology company, announces the release of its Q-FIX KNOTLESS All-Suture Anchor for soft tissue-to-bone fixation indications across multiple joint spaces including Shoulder, Hip, and Foot & Ankle.
Building on the long-standing success and performance of the best-in-class anchor fixation strength of the Q-FIX Family versus competitive devices, the new Q-FIX KNOTLESS All-Suture Anchor raises the bar for all-suture anchor technology. With proprietary features and capabilities, the Q-FIX KNOTLESS All-Suture Anchor aims to set a new benchmark for fixation strength and offer surgeons a reason to reassess their joint repair approach, including:
- Market-leading strength in all-suture anchor fixation and ultra-low displacement
- Consistent deployment
- Best-in-class soft tissue security with our suture lock mechanism
- Streamlined suture shuttling
- Market-leading biomechanical performance, with the lowest displacement during cyclic loading
"When I think of the Q-FIX family I think of reliability,” commented Dr. Robert Litchfield, Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Medicine Ontario, Canada. “We know that when we put a Q-FIX Anchor in, that we can count on it - the deployment is always predictable and the pullouts are impressive. In my experience, these anchors just don't fail when we put load on them."
