The CrossFix™ meniscal repair system is a suture only device that creates a 3 mm mattress stitch for a fast, strong, and reliable all-inside meniscal repair. The device design includes an incorporated cannula and depth limiter that controls needle penetration. Both straight and curved needle designs are available allowing for easier access to multiple tear sites.
Benefits of the CrossFix™ system include:
- Reduced Risk of Injury: The suture only device reduces the risk of chondral injury common to plastic implantable devices.
- Reproducible Technique: CrossFix™ instantly deploys a 3 mm mattress stitch and pre-tied sliding knot through a single insertion into the meniscus.
- Biomechanically Strong Repair: CrossFix™ delivers biomechanically strong outcomes with pull out forces equal to open suture techniques*.
- Reliable Reduction: Pre-tied sliding knot with high strength suture results in easy knot sliding and simple reduction of tear.
- Controlled Needle Exposure: Device design includes incorporated depth limiter controlling needle penetration.
- Easy Access: Curved and straight needle designs allow for access to multiple tear sites.
