sosseous equivalent (TOE) repairs failed
through both soft tissue and the repair
construct. According to the data, despite
50% fewer suture anchors in the TOK
repairs than the TOE repairs, cyclic gap-
ping and ultimate stiffness and failure
loads were not significantly different.

cruciate ligament reconstruction a new,
faster and less invasive way to safely
harvest a graft of a desired length and
diameter through a smaller incision.
The system also reduces patient mor-
bidity while still giving the physician
the preferable stiffness profile for knee
ligament reconstruction. Furthermore,
the system can create a variety of grafts
to meet the surgeons’ needs including
soft tissue, bone soft tissue, all-inside
and transtibial.

But wait, there’s still more.
The FiberLoop with FiberTag Speed-
Whip™ rip-stop technique reinforces
the suture/tissue interface with a Fiber-
Tag scaffold. A FiberTag suture is incor-
porated into the end of the FiberLoop
construct to allow each needle pass to
incorporate both graft and the FiberTag
scaffold.
This technology will make autografts,
which have been shown to be supe-
