10 Reasons To Love The Y-Knot® Family

1

The first self-punching all-suture anchor available on the market.

2

Y-Knot® suture anchors require less bone removal than larger, traditional anchors.

3

Y-Knot®’s cleatless suture release technology eliminates the need for uncleating sutures after implanting the anchor.

4

Y-Knot® Flex anchors provide up to 55% greater fixation strength than conventional 3.0mm press fit anchors, while removing up to 80% less bone.

5

Y-Knot® Flex System was specifically designed to help achieve optimal anchor placement with a curved and percutaneous delivery system.

6

Y-Knot® RC can help streamline procedures with a fast, efficient technique that eliminates the need to create and find a pilot hole.

7

The Y-Knot® RC All-Suture Anchor with Needles is ideal for open procedures.

8

Y-Knot® features CONMED's #2 Hi-Fi® Suture which is less abrasive on the suture-tendon interface and leads to less tendon tear-through.

9

The small 2.8mm footprint of Y-Knot® PRO RC provides placement and fixation advantages when bone is limited, especially during revisions.

10

Y-Knot® PRO Flex is available with Hi-Fi® Ribbon, a 1.3mm wide, flat, tie-able tape that's 2X wider than #2 suture for broader compression and increased tendon-to-bone interface.
