According to a company press release, Endurance Hip Solutions includes stainless steel needles, nitinol guidewires and cannulas for access, suture anchors in either Biocryl Rapide biocomposite material or Peek for fixation and devices for tissue ablation and fluid management. Education and training on hip arthroscopy and the system will be sponsored by DePuy Mitek throughout the United States.
“With Endurance Hip Solutions, we’ve leveraged our clinical expertise and track record in soft tissue repair of the shoulder and knee to create a procedural hip arthroscopy solution from joint access to tissue and suture management,” Ian Lawson, worldwide president of DePuy Mitek, stated in the release. “We expect that improvements in technology, more opportunities for surgeon education and training and rising patient demand will fuel increased adoption of hip arthroscopy.”
