ArthroCare Corp. out of Austin, Texas has received FDA marketing approval for the SpeedFix Suture Anchor system.
SpeedFix, a push-in anchor made of PEEK (polyether-etherketone) polymer, is designed for the repair of certain tears of the labrum in a shoulder.
SpeedFix anchors, which are double-loaded with ArthroCare’s high-strength MagnumWire(R) suture, provide surgeons with independent bone locking, suture tensioning and suture locking to ensure tissues are securely attached to the glenoid.
