About HERCULON Soft Tissue Fixation System (Prod 8619)
The Driver is supplied in two versions, one for use arthroscopically with the ArthroSew™ device, and one for open procedures. The anchor is implanted into a prepared hole in the bone and the suture is used to attach soft tissue. The anchors are manufactured from Titanium (6AL4V ELI) alloy which conforms to ASTM (F136-92), and are anodized as per AMS 2488. The Suture Loading Units included with the HERCULON™ Soft Tissue Instrument are loaded with TI•CRON™ polyester sutures, which are indicated for general soft tissue approximation. TI•CRON™ polyester sutures are non-absorbable, sterile, surgical sutures composed of Polyethylene Terephthalate. The braided sutures are coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, thereby enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue and knot run-down properties. TI•CRON™ polyester sutures are inert and elicit only minimal local tissue reaction. The size 2 (5 Metric) sutures included with the HERCULON™ Soft Tissue Reattachment System are supplied dyed with D&C (blue) No. 6 colorant and undyed (white). Size 2 (5 Metric) TI•CRON™ sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for non-absorbable surgical.
