The Titanium Suture Anchor with Needle from NX-MED is designed for reliable soft-tissue fixation. It is suitable for arthroscopic and open shoulder procedures in various clinical settings. The implant uses medical-grade Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy for high performance. This material provides strong biocompatibility and excellent corrosion resistance.
Product Overview
- Preloaded for Efficiency – Each Titanium Suture Anchor comes pre-loaded with ultra-strong UHMWPE sutures and a surgical-grade needle, enabling direct passage through soft tissue without extra threading.
- Multiple Size Options – Available in two diameters:
- Ø 3.5 mm — suitable for labrum repair (e.g. Bankart, SLAP lesions)
- Ø 5.0 mm — optimized for rotator cuff repair - Bone-Adapted Fixation – Offered in both threaded and barbed versions, supporting anchoring in cortical or cancellous bone as required.
Clinical & Surgical Advantages
- Faster Procedures — The pre-loaded needle and sutures reduce operative time and simplify soft tissue passage.
- Strong & Reliable Tissue Fixation — High-tensile sutures and robust titanium body ensure high pull-out strength and stable soft tissue anchoring.
- Lower Risk of Contamination — Preloaded system reduces handling steps and minimizes suture damage or contamination risk.
- Wide Procedural Compatibility — Suitable for common shoulder procedures including labrum repair, SLAP lesion repair, and rotator cuff fixation.
- Imaging-Friendly & Safe — Materials are biocompatible and safe for MRI, facilitating postoperative evaluation.
Indications for Use
- Labrum stabilization (e.g. Bankart & SLAP lesion repair)
- Rotator cuff tear fixation
- Soft tissue reattachment in shoulder instability and reconstructive surgeries
- Arthroscopic or mini-open procedures where reliable soft tissue–to–bone fixation is required
