Striker's Innovative Surgical Solutions
Overview of Striker's Speed Anchor
- Striker's iconic speed anchor is a 2.3 mm self-punching all-suture anchor designed to reduce surgical steps and costs associated with rotator cuff repair, eliminating the need for disposable drills.
- The rotator cuff footprint is prepared using Striker's crossblade dual-edge cutter, ensuring careful handling to avoid complete decortication of bone.
Insertion Technique for Speed Anchor
- Align the speed anchor at the articular margin through a percutaneous incision; it features a self-punching trocar tip that negates drilling requirements. The minimum insertion depth is indicated by a solid black laser line on the device.
- After aligning, mallet the speed inserter handle to achieve appropriate insertion depth while orienting the tip from medial to lateral to protect against damage during malleting. If minor off-axis insertion occurs, release sutures from cleats and pull back on the inserter handle for removal.
Deployment and Fixation Features
- Upon deployment, Striker’s all-suture platform utilizes Intellibrate technology which creates a bunching effect within the implant sheath for optimal fixation during surgery. Repeat this process with a second iconic speed anchor as needed.
- Prepare the lateral tuberosity using Striker’s 90s Cruise through the lateral portal; load one strand of 2.0 mm x-brade TT into Cobra reusable suture passer, designed to prevent needle migration and breakage while offering two models: self-capture or hook and ratchet.
Suture Passing Techniques
- Pass suture through tendon and retrieve it via anterior portal; repeat with 1.2 mm x-brade TT until all six remaining tails are passed through tendon successfully. Utilize loop retriever to bring strands through lateral portal for additional medial fixation before cutting with Big Dog suture cutter. Repeat this process for posterior anchors as well.
Omega Nautilus Anchor System Details
- Striker’s Omega Nautilus anchor system features an all-peek self-punching eyelet design that allows unobstructed cannulation and secure fixation due to its proprietary eyelet design coupled with screw functionality, available in sizes ranging from 3.9 mm to 6.5 mm depending on bone quality needs.
- The smaller screws (3.9 mm & 4.75 mm) utilize double helix designs for enhanced cortical screw interference while larger screws (6.5 mm) employ single helix designs aimed at improving fixation in cases of poor bone quality conditions during surgery procedures involving up to eight tails of number two force fiber loaded through eyelet configurations as necessary based on surgical requirements or preferences outlined by surgeons involved in these operations specifically tailored towards orthopedic applications like rotator cuff repairs among others mentioned throughout this presentation overall contextually speaking here today overall too!
Eyelet Inserter Usage Instructions
- To use the eyelet inserter effectively: mallet proximal end until distal end aligns flush with bone; place tapered tip over pilot hole located by following suture path while maintaining slight downward pressure on screwdriver handle during tension application across limbs sequentially if desired placing them into cleat aids management accordingly based upon density/quality considerations noted previously discussed earlier herein today too!
- As tension is applied, note that eyelet may reposition under cortical layer based upon bone density—this feature allows secure fixation once appropriately tensioned; do not mallet screwdriver when positioning screw but rather hold black handle while turning translucent knob clockwise simultaneously applying downward pressure consistently throughout entire process described above here today overall contextually speaking again now too!
