Intended Use

The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is a stainless steel implant intended for use as an attachment means for soft tissue and bone in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction. Stabilizer instruments must be used to install the Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor.

Device Description

The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is a 316L stainless steel implant intended for use as an attachment means for soft tissue and bone in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction. Stabilizer instruments must be used to install the Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor.

Stabilizer placement is accomplished by drilling an appropriately sized hole in uncompromised bone with a specifically designed drill, inserting the soft tissue anchor into the bone, expanding the stabilizer teeth of the implant to secure the anchor into bone using the anchor inserter, and optionally securing the ACL to the implanted anchor by using up to three sutures. The anchor inserter (which spreads the stabilizer teeth of the implant) also serves as a suture organizer for delivery of sutures, as may be required, to the implant site during the implantation procedure. A crimper is also included to help secure the suture of choice to the Stabilizer, and to prepare the Stabilizer for entry into the predrilled hole. If sutures are not used, use of the crimper is optional.
