Revolutionizing Soft Tissue to Bone Fixation: World-Class Precision and Performance
The world-class performance of SupraFusion is for orthopedic surgeons and hospitals committed to enhancing the precision and efficiency of Soft Tissue to Bone Fixation procedures. Built from years of expertise in material science, biomechanics, and surgical innovation, SupraFusion delivers strength, stability, and control for exceptional patient outcomes.
Innovative Ultrasound-Enhanced Design and Suture Integration of SupraFusion
Implant Base
The head is designed to transfer the ultrasonic vibration generated in the Handpiece of the SupraFuser Ultrasonic System.
Augmenting Shaft
The shaft has two functions: grooves guide and protect the sutures during the implantation process. The ridges concentrate the ultrasonic energy and ensure that the surface of the shaft melts consistently, and with the minimum amount of energy.
Functional Tip
The SF Push-in Anchor features a transverse apical “click-in” groove to position the sutures before implantation.
Enhanced biomechanical strength and no micromotion
By interdigitating with the bone structure, the polymer augments the cancellous bone at the interface to the implant instead of violating it as a thread or barb of an anchor would do.
This augmentation prevents micromotion during cyclic loading and the anchor does not require cortical bone to provide full stability.
High-Strength, Resorbable, and Biocompatible Materials for Exceptional Surgical Performance
-
The molecular combination of L and DL lactides (70/30) creates a unique strength and complete restorability. The SF Push-in Anchor retains its full strength beyond the healing period.
-
The SF Push-in Anchor is degraded by hydrolysis. The degradation products are entirely metabolized and excreted.
-
The SF Push-in Anchor forms a compelling, connective tissue-free micro-form-fit with the bone.
-
The poly-L(DL) lactide used in combination with SupraFusion technology is also tissue-compatible and clinically established.
SupraFusion Suture Compatibility: Ensure Optimal Surgical Performance
The specially designed SF Push-in Anchor tip allows maximum flexibility for a choice of sutures according to indication. Various suture-types and -thicknesses can be easily loaded.
The SF Push-in Anchors must be used with non-resorbable UHMWPE sutures or a combination of UHMWPE and polyester sutures or polyethylene terephthalate sutures.
SF Push-in Anchor Portfolio: Tough, Universal, Delicate – Precision Anchors for Every Challenge!
The innovative SupraFusion Technology is a surgical technique for soft-tissue to-bone fixation using ultrasonic energy. SupraFusion integrates the SF-Push-in Anchor into the cancellous bone within seconds. This unique bonding augments the trabecular bone, introducing a new paradigm in maximizing load capacity while minimizing bone trauma.
-
Measuring 3.0mm, “The Tough” roots deeply into cancellous bone providing immediate stability for the most demanding situations.
-
Our most versatile 2.3mm anchor offers universal flexibility by suture selection to address a wide range of indications.
-
With a 1.6mm diameter, this ultra-small anchor offers exceptional strength even in most delicate bones.
RFID Tag for Accurate Implant Identification and Optimized Ultrasonic Settings
The unique RFID Tag identifies the Anchor and provides the ultrasonic process settings specific to the respective SF Push-in Anchor. Each implant is supplied with an RFID Tag.
SupraFuser Ultrasonic System: Advanced Technology for Safe and Precise Implantation
The heart of the SupraFusion Technology is the SupraFuser Ultrasonic System. Design and performance are optimized for the easy and safe application of our implants.
The SupraFuser Ultrasonic System comprises a Handpiece that transmits the ultrasonic vibrations to the implants and is activated by a Footswitch.
-
with integrated RFID reader. This ensures that every anchor size is implanted with the its optimized implant-specific ultrasonic power settings.
-
Handpiece with an ergonomic and user-friendly handle.
-
The SupraFuser Ultrasonic System comprises a Handpiece that transmits the ultrasonic vibrations to the implants and is activated by a Footswitch.
The Sonotrode
is designed to hold the implant firmly and to provide optimal visibility of the insertion process.
The Drill
features a drill geometry specific for the SF Push-in Anchor to ensure controlled liquefaction during ultrasonic implantation of the SF Push-in Anchor. Each SF Push-in Anchor size has a specific drill size with identical color coding.
Drill Guide with Integrated Wrench
Prevents soft tissue from wrapping around the drill and through the drill stop prevents drilling too deep. The integrated Wrench is used to tighten the Sonotrode on the Handpiece.
The Stopper
provides a controlled insertion stop for the implant and prevents the implant from being inserted too deep. There are three color-coded Stoppers, one for each anchor size with identical color coding.
Reprocessing Tray and Instrument Care for the SupraFuser System and SF Push-in Anchor Portfolio
The specially designed Tray for the SupraFuser Ultrasonic System and SF Push-in Anchor Portfolio is tailored for the efficient reprocessing of instruments and accessories. Each instrument and accessories has a designated Tray section and the validated protocol is outlined in the Reprocessing Guide.
