Impact™
Suture Anchor
The Linvatec Impact™ Suture
Anchor is a bioabsorbable push and rotate
suture anchor that is preloaded on a disposable
inserter. The Impact Suture Anchor is manufactured
from Self-Reinforced™ (96L/4D) PLA Copolymer
that retains 90% strength through approximately
20 weeks and completely resorbs over a period
of several years (depending on patient variables.)
The unique absorption profile of the Copolymer
allows the anchor to gradually lose strength
as the collagen fibers of the repair form and
gain strength.
