This system brings together two proven technologies that, when paired, redefine what’s possible. The Hercules® XE Knotless Anchors deliver the mechanical confidence surgeons depend on, while the BioBrace® Reinforced Implant has biocomposite material that combines mechanical integrity with the natural healing process, boosting material strength.
The result? A combination that’s both strong and smart.1,2
Let’s start with the anchors.
The Hercules® XE Knotless Anchors are all about precision and ease. They’re engineered for strength but designed to make a surgeon’s workflow simpler. By removing the need for knots, these anchors streamline procedures, reduce surgical time, and minimize bulk at the repair site. Surgeons trust Hercules® XE anchors because they offer high pullout strength, dependable fixation, and versatility across a wide range of foot and ankle procedures.
It’s performance that feels effortless.1
Now, pair that with the BioBrace® implant
– a game changer in soft tissue augmentation.
Made from a proprietary blend of bioresorbable materials, the BioBrace® implant acts as a bioinductive scaffold that not only reinforces the repair but also supports the body’s natural healing process. Its porous, durable structure encourages tissue ingrowth and remodeling, offering both immediate strength and long-term biological benefit. As the body heals, the implant gradually resorbs, integrating naturally with the patient’s own tissue.
It’s the perfect balance between support and regeneration.2
For DPMs and orthopedic surgeons, this kit hits the sweet spot.
Whether you’re tackling a sports injury or managing a complex reconstruction, the Hercules® XE Kit with BioBrace® Implant is built to make your work more efficient while helping deliver the outcomes your patients count on. It offers surgeons a powerful solution designed for soft tissue, tendon, extra-articular ligament augmentation, reinforcement, and strengthening of the surgical repair. 2 It reflects CONMED’s deep understanding of surgical challenges and its ongoing commitment to creating technologies that genuinely make a difference in the OR.
And that commitment goes beyond innovation, it’s about purpose. At CONMED, the mission has always been simple yet powerful: to empower healthcare providers by delivering medical technologies that improve clinical outcomes and enhance patient care. The Hercules® XE Kit with BioBrace® Implant is a shining example of that mission in action – bringing together cutting-edge anchor technology and advanced scaffold science to help surgeons achieve repairs that are stronger, smarter, and built to last.
Because in the end, every step matters and with the Hercules® XE Kit with BioBrace® Implant, those steps just got a whole lot stronger.
