MICRORAPTOR◊ REGENESORB◊ Suture Anchor (Shoulder)

An integral part of Instability Excellence

Absorbed + replaced by bone1-3

A micro-class anchor with a shallow drill depth that can be absorbed and effectively replaced by bone in 24 months,1-3 while providing a solid finished construct. Utilizing REGENESORB Technology, made of a novel poly (PLGA)-based biocomposite material containing ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) and calcium sulfate, both previously demonstrated to be osteoconductive.4-7

Designed to provide a jump-start in bone healing.

*****As demonstrated in a cadaveric study.

Most biocomposite materials rely solely on the osteoconductive properties of ß-TCP.6,7 REGENESORB material contains two osteoconductive components – ß-TCP and calcium sulfate – which act during different stages in the bone healing process and through different mechanisms of action: physical and biochemical. REGENESORB Material is unique in this regard.5,12,13

MICRORAPTOR REGENESORB Suture Anchors are intended to be used for soft tissue to bone fixation for:

  • Shoulder: Capsular stabilisation including Bankart repair, anterior instability; SLAP lesion repair; capsular shift or capsulolabral reconstructions; biceps tenodesis.
  • Hip: Acetabular labrum repair.
