Knotless Suture Fixation System

Tactile Feel. Tight Fixation.

TAC-tite™ revolutionizes rotator cuff repair procedures by combining surgeon-preferred threaded anchors with a tactile, knotless mechanism for a no-slip, secure fixation.

Incomparable Strength:

Protects Bone Surface

  • TAC-tite's unique top locking apparatus introduces the sutures in a straight, transosseous pathway from tissue to device during tensioning. The rim of the anchor acts as a protective barrier that prevents the sutures from sawing into the cortical bone.

Superior Footprint Pressure

  • TAC-tite features a fully threaded cortical-cancellous anchor that provides exacting and adjustable footprint pressure for an optimally secure fixation.

Intelligent Locking Eyelet

  • While you may associate irritating high knot stacks and knot slippage with UHMW-PE sutures, TAC-tite pioneered the intelligent locking eyelet that features an uncompromising vice grip that securely locks sutures in place – providing zero chance of suture slippage.

 

Easier Operation:

Adjustable & Removable

  • Only TAC-tite features a rotating eyelet that permits intraoperative adjustments after the device is locked and sutures are trimmed. This feature also allows the anchor to be removed.

Superior Tactile Feel & Control

  • TAC-tite's innovative design allows you to place discrete suture tension on the tendon prior to locking it in place. Our unique tensioning thumb mantles act and feel like a traditional arthroscopic knot pusher – giving you the sensation of counteracting forces with the result of a tightly fixated tendon.

Maintains Tension

  • Our unrivaled suture cleats maintain tension during the suture locking stage – allowing a single surgeon to perform all steps.

Audible Locking Technology

  • Only TAC-tite features an audible indicator that tells you the exact moment when the sutures are successfully locked.

Zero Suture Interference

  • TAC-tite creates an unobstructed suture pathway from the tendon to surgeons' hands, allowing tactile tensioning of the sutures prior to locking.

Clear Post-Op Visualization

  • TAC-tite's titanium alloy design provides clear, post-op MRI visualization of tendon to bone interface.
