The Spartan device is a preloaded threaded anchor for physicians to use when fixing soft tissue to bone—for example, during rotator cuff repair surgery.
The needled version of the Spartan line of anchors was developed for use by surgeons in the open rotator cuff repair surgery. The non-needled version of the Spartan line is already cleared by the FDA and it is meant to be used by surgeons in arthroscopic repair cases. The company believes that its Spartan anchor complements its line of other anchors which can be used by surgeons with the company’s suture passing technology, such as the FirstPass suture passer. The Spartan anchor has a 6.5mm, screw-in design and can be used by surgeons to perform single and double row repairs.
