LifeNet Health launched their Allograft GraftLink pre-sutured tendon for ACL reconstruction.

Created for use in the Arthrex GraftLink All-Inside ACL Reconstruction, GraftLink tendons are pre-sutured with #2 FiberWire sutures under 15 lbs of tension and provide a high-quality, pre-sized, pre-sutured, frozen-tendon solution that can be used directly out of the package after thawing.

“The launch of this pre-sutured tendon reinforces our commitment to providing surgeons with innovative biologic solutions in Sports Medicine procedures,” Rony Thomas, president and chief executive officer of LifeNet Health, stated in a company release. “The convenience offered by this pre-sutured tendon allows surgeons to shorten their surgery time — both saving expense and reducing the amount of time the patient is under anesthesia. Equally important to LifeNet Health is that we further honor the gift of donation by using tendons that are not typically used on their own in traditional procedures.”
