Y-Knot® PRO RC

Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor

Simple, Strong, and Small

y-knot-rc-anchor-and-sutures
With strong fixation, less bone removal, and a simple, self-punching technique, the Y-Knot® PRO RC helps overcome the trade-offs of other fixation methods.

The first self-punching all-suture anchor available, Y-Knot® RC anchors can help streamline procedures with a fast and efficient technique that eliminates the need to create and find a pilot hole. They can be used in numerous joint spaces.

Less Invasive

In addition to requiring less bone removal than larger traditional anchors, the small 2.8mm footprint provides placement and fixation advantages when bone is limited, especially during revisions.

360° FormFit™ Fixation

Y-Knot® RC anchors provide stronger fixation than traditional 5.5mm anchors by deploying from 2.8mm to 5.0mm subcortically.1,2

Cleatless Delivery

Cleatless suture release technology eliminates the need for uncleating sutures after implanting the anchor, providing a more efficient delivery system.

Y-Knot® PRO RC is available with:

Hi-Fi® Ribbon

  • 1.3mm wide, flat, tieable tape
  • 2X wider than #2 suture for broader compression and increased tendon-to-bone interface
  • 14% stronger than high-strength USP #2 suture3 with smaller knot stacks4

Hi-Fi® Tape

  • 69% less abrasive than the leading competitor when measuring tendon tear-through5
  • Broader compression than #2 suture for increased tendon-to-bone interface5
  • Over 2X as strong as #2 suture6
  • Helps simplify double-row repairs by eliminating the need for medial knot tying

#2 Hi-Fi® Suture

  • Braided, non-absorbable suture for soft tissue repair that's designed to provide exceptional strength for knot tying while helping minimize tendon damage
  • Over 50% reduced mean cutting rate compared to FiberWire and FiberTape, which were more abrasive on the suture-tendon interface and led to higher tendon tear-through7
