Via Surgical has announced FDA 510(k) clearance of the TissueTak tendon anchor, a closed-loop suture-based fixation system, according to a press release.

The TissueTak system, which is designed for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and augmentation, uses a suture-based anchor that attaches the patch directly to the tendon, according to the release.

“In our clinical and biomechanical assessment, TissueTak showed superior strength for affixing biological patches to the tendons,” Ofek Levin, co-founder and chair of the board at Via Surgical, said in the release. “We’re excited to get our technology into more operating rooms, so we can help improve rotator cuff surgeries for both patients and doctors,” Levin added.
