WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System
The WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System expands the possibilities and indications of the WasherCap™ family, providing knotless, adjustable-tension fixation of standard sutures and tapes. The independent suture-to-device fixation delivers superior rigid fixation without relying on cancellous bone quality, resulting in exceptional displacement and pull-out strength performance.
Knotless, Adjustable-Tension Suture Fixation
This unique suture-to-device fixation, independent from patient's bone quality, allows for adjustment of tension after locking fixation, without damage to the sutures.
Bi-Planar Fixation
Achieves an unparalleled fixation in two planes, replacing traditional "inline" fixation with two different points of fixation in a single device. This eliminates the need for back-up or secondary fixation.
Dual Fixation Mechanism
Independent device-to-cortical bone and suture-to-device fixation yields higher mechanical pull-out strength and reduced cyclic displacement.
SUPERIOR MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE
Biomechanical tests demonstrated that Meniscal Root repair using the WasherCap™ Mini provided minimal displacement under cyclic loads and superior fixation strength compared to standard fixation devices. The low standard deviation of the results is thanks to the internal suture fixation methodology.
Single-use and ready-to-use instrumentation
