Stryker launches all suture anchor platform at AAOS

Stryker announced the launch of the Iconix all suture anchor platform with IntelliBraid technology.

Featured at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting, the Iconix all suture anchor fixation platform has anchors designed for minimal bone removal during pilot hole reaction, technology which creates a bunching effect using targeted compression zones within the implant sheath for optimal fixation as well as single, double and triple loaded options for a variety of procedures, including rotator cuff, instability and hip labral repair. The platform is also designed with curved and straight instrumentation options for easier access and precise anchor placement, and drills with a unique self centering technology that enable accurate pilot hold placement.

“The Iconix all suture platform offers our customers an implant with a minimal footprint, exceptional biomechanical performance, and varied angles of approach to give the surgeon more flexibility when placing implant across multiple indications,” Matt Moreau, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Joint Preservation business, stated in a company press release. “Our acquisition of the first ever all suture platform and expertise in flexible technology also allowed us to optimize the anchor construct, flexible instrumentation, anchor deployment and suture manipulation.”
