Y-Knot - Model Pro Flex - All-Suture Anchor System
With it`s small size and innovative instrumentation, the Y-Knot® Flex System was designed to help achieve optimal anchor placement. The anchors provide up to 55% greater fixation strength than conventional 3.0mm press fit anchors while removing up to 80% less bone.1 The curved and percutaneous delivery systems enable delivery around a curve and perpendicular placement for posterior SLAP and inferior Bankart repairs. The versatile Y-Knot® PRO Flex can be used for various procedures in several joint spaces.
Y-Knot® PRO Flex
The Y-Knot® PRO combines our Y-Knot® anchor with cleatless suture release technology. The Y-Knot® PRO:
- Eliminates the need for uncleating sutures after implanting the anchor by providing a more efficient delivery system.
- Available on all Y-Knot® Flex anchors.
Y-Knot® Flex with Hi-Fi® Ribbon
Hi-Fi® Ribbon is a 1.3mm wide, flat, tie-able tape. Ribbon is:
- 2X wider than #2 suture for broader compression and increased tendon-to-bone interface
- 14.0% stronger than high-strength USP #2 suture 2
- Smaller knot stacks than USP #2 suture 3
Y-Knot® Flex with #2 Suture
#2 Hi-Fi® Suture is:
- A braided, non-absorbable suture for soft tissue repair designed to provide exceptional strength for knot tying while helping minimize tendon damage
- CONMED’s #2 Hi-Fi® Suture was shown to reduce mean cutting rate by over 50% when compared to FiberWire and FiberTape, which were more abrasive on the suture-tendon interface and led to higher tendon tear-through. 4
