The WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System consists of an implantable device, a handled inserter, a handled screwdriver, a drill guide, a drill bit and a suture threader. The WasherCap™ Mini implantable device is pre-loaded on the handled inserter with the suture threader. The drill guide and the drill bit should be used to perform a drilling guided specifically to the angulation necessary to create the bone socket where the screw of the implant should be located. The suture/tape is passed through the cap with the suture threader and the screw is threaded with the handled screwdriver, setting the tension of the suture/tape. The WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is provided sterile and individually packaged. All components are for single use only. The WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is available in different sizes and should be implanted following the corresponding surgical procedure.
