BioTwist^® RC Soft Tissue Anchor System

The BioTwist^® RC implant is molded from Poly-L-Lactide Acid (PLLA) and retains the benefits of bioresorbable fixation, which include radiolucency and a history of clinical effectiveness and safety.
 
The simple screw-in method of insertion reduces various steps that are often cumbersome when repairing the rotator cuff.  The anchor is placed through the rotator cuff tendon and into the pre-punched pilot hole.  By simply screwing the anchor into the bone, the torn tissue is easily repaired.  The low-profile head design eliminates any potential damage to surrounding soft tissue as well as any boney structures.  In addition, the tapered, smooth shank underneath the head of the implant will accommodate the largest of rotator cuff tears without further damaging the tissue.  Most notably, the system eliminates the need for any suture passing or knot tying.
