DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
STEP 1: PREPARE THE GRAFT
If performing a soft tissue reattachment or transfer, harvest the tendon(s) according to the surgeon’s preferred
technique. Using the Soft Tissue Sizer, measure the diameter of the tendon and select the appropriate size Implant
(Refer to Sizing Guide on page 4). Using QuikWhip TM #2 Surgical Suture, whipstitch the end of the tendon.
Note: If anchoring the tendon in a blind bone tunnel, tension the tendon and mark where the tendon aligns with the
desired insertion site. Make a second marking where the tendon should reach the bottom of the bone tunnel. Using
QuikWhip TM #2 Surgical Suture, whipstitch the region between the two markings and trim off any excess tendon.
STEP 2: PREPARE THE BONE TUNNEL
Determine the desired anatomical insertion site.
Drill the 2.4 mm Drill Tipped Passing Pin to the
appropriate depth by measuring directly off the
laser marks of the Passing Pin (Refer to Sizing
Guide on page 4 for recommended drill depth
guidelines). Drill over the Passing Pin with a
cannulated reamer 1 mm larger than the diameter
of the tendon.
