The CrossFix™ system is a suture only device that creates a 3mm mattress stitch for a fast, strong, and reliable all-inside meniscal repair. The dual needle design instantly deploys a horizontal or vertical mattress with a pre-tied sliding knot through a single insertion into the meniscus. The device includes an incorporated cannula and depth limiter that controls needle penetration, reducing the risk of neurovascular injury. The repair is biomechanically strong with pull-out forces equal to open suture techniques. The CrossFix™ system leaves no plastic implants behind, thereby reducing risk of injury over time.
Available from both Zimmer Biomet and Cayenne Medical.
