FIBERKNOT is an all suture anchor with smaller in size that does not mitigate strength. The FIBERKNOT Soft Ligament Anchor is composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture and is available in 1.5 mm (single loaded) and 1.8 mm (double loaded) sizes. FIBERKNOT requires a smaller pilot hole compared to traditional anchors, minimizing bone removal and decreasing the overall anchor footprint, while still providing superior strength. The FIBERKNOT anchor is available with flexible driver for easy insertion through curved sleeve. It is available in various combination of fiber and fiber tape.
The curved and straight sleeves of FIBERKNOT enable delivery around a curve and perpendicular placement for posterior SLAP and inferior Bankart repairs.
The drill ensures accurate pilot hole placement with both straight and curved sleeves.

The MINI-VIM PK Ligament anchors are available in a variety of sizing and suture options. The MINI-VIM PK is a non-absorbable PEEK suture anchor with a material eyelet which provides superior abrasion resistance due to PEEK''s low coefficient of friction. Anchor insertion and delivery are made simple by drilling through a spear and inserting the anchor through the same spear into the drilled hole. MINI-VIM PK Ligament anchor is Tap-in/Bang-on anchor. It is available in 3 sizes, 2.8mm (single loaded), 3.0mm (double loaded) & 3.5mm (double loaded).
The average pull-out strength of MINI-VIM PK 2.8mm ligament anchor is 221.0 N*, MINI-VIM II PK 3.0mm ligament anchor is 127.1 N* & MINI-VIM II PK 3.5mm ligament anchor is 368.8 N*.
Additional Information:
The MINI-VIM Ligament anchors are titanium anchors available in 2.8mm and 3.5mm diameters and come preloaded with USP #2 suture. In most cases, the implant can be manually inserted using the handled version. A drill is available for use in hard bone if desired. For arthroscopic applications, the MINI-VIM Ligament anchor can be inserted through the small diameter MINI-VIM spear eliminating the need for a cannula. This is ideal for SLAP and subscapularis repairs where a small stab incision and percutaneous delivery of the implant is preferred. MINI-VIM Ligament anchor is Screw-in anchor.
The average pull-out strength of MINI-VIM 2.8mm ligament anchor is 176N.
Key Features
· Tremendous pull-out strength.Additional Information:
The MINI-VIM PK Ligament anchor is available in dia of 2.8mm and 3.5mm. The MINI-VIM PK is a nonabsorbable PEEK suture anchor with a material eyelet which provides superior abrasion resistance due to PEEK''s low coefficient friction. The knotless technology of MINI-VIM PK Ligament anchor Provides a step-saving alternative to conventional "knotted" suture anchors and eliminates "knot stacks" associated with soft tissue irritation.
The average pull-out strength of MINI-VIM PK 2.8mm ligament anchor is 228.6 N*

The VIMFIX-BT Tenodesis implants are designed for all-arthroscopic proximal biceps tenodesis. The efficient system is designed to save steps and minimize the length of the procedure. The implants feature a unique PEEK tip that is used to steer the biceps tendon to the bottom of the bone socket without the need to externalize or whipstitch the tendon. There is no need to predetermine tendon length, as position and tension are easily set and visualized prior to final anchor insertion.
Strong fixation is obtained by simply advancing the preloaded VIMFIX-BT Tenodesis Screw. The system also features Tenodesis Fluted Solid reamers with built-in guide tips that eliminate the need to ream over a guide pin. The average pull-out strength of VIMFIX-BT ligament anchor (knotless) is 470.8 N*.

BioFiber Tape is an ultra-high strength 2 mm width tape using a similar long chain polyethylene structure as the BioFiber suture. In addition to high demand applications like AC joint reconstruction, knotless double-row rotator cuff repair & Foot & Ankle repair surgeries. The broad footprint of the BioFiber Tape is appropriate for repairs in degenerative cuff tissue where tissue pull-through may be a concern.
Additional Information:
The FIBERKNOT helps overcome the traditional anchors for rotator cuff fixation methods with strong fixation, less bone removal and a simple, self-punching technique. FIBERKNOT ligament anchor Dia. 2.9mm requires a pilot hole for the insertion. The punch is specially designed for FIBERKNOT ligament anchor which provides the accurate hole placement for the anchor. The small 2.9mm footprint of FIBERKNOT ligament anchor provides placement and fixation advantages when bone real estate is limited, especially during revision surgeries.
FIBERKNOT is available in double loaded with various combination of BioFiber and BioFiber Tape.
Additional Information:
BioFiber is a braided sterile surgical fiber prepared from fibres of ultra-high molecular weight long chain linear polyethylene. BioFiber elicit a minimal of inflammatory reaction in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the fiber by the fibrous tissue. BioFiber is non-absorbable and there are no significant changes in tensile strength retention known to occur in vivo. BioFiber is preloaded on many Biotek Anchors that have fibers. BioFiber represents a major advancement in arthroscopic surgery.
Additional Information:
BioFiber Loop is a continuous loop of BioFiber with straight needle. The needles are easy to handle and move freely on the suture to recenter themselves after passing through tissue and facilitating even tension. Graft preparation using BioFiber Loop in conjunction with the Whipstitch technique drastically reduces time spent preparing the graft, uniformly compresses the graft, improves strength and allows for last minute adjustments in graft length.
