X-Twist Fixation System
The X-Twist™ is a knotless, open architecture, and fast inserting suture anchor system available in multiple sliding suture and suture tape configurations.
The X-Twist system is designed for versatility across procedures: single or double row, in medial and/or lateral row applications, and in both knotless and fully knotted constructs, to reproducibly and confidently repair soft tissue to bone.
Key Features & Benefits
Anchor Design
- Ample distal eyelet simultaneously accommodates up to four 2mm tapes plus three #2 sutures
- Anchor body features a double helix threaded design with high thread pitch
- Open architecture design with twenty vents around the anchor body intended to enhance marrow flow to the repair site to support healing and bony ingrowth for longer-term stability
Suture Options
- Solid color and striped sutures to support intra-operative suture management
- Sliding retention sutures can be incorporated into repair to address patient specific needs
- Static suture tape for medial row application provides a broad footprint, maximizing the surface area of tendon to bone compression to support tendon integrity and healing to bone
