Proximal biceps tenodesis reattaches the long head of biceps to the humerus, often as part of shoulder arthroscopy. Distal biceps repair reattaches a ruptured tendon to the radius at the elbow.
- VIMFIX-BT: for all-arthroscopic proximal biceps tenodesis. Its PEEK tip steers the tendon to the bottom of the socket without whipstitching it.
- AK-FIX: a low-profile titanium button used with a BioFiber loop for distal biceps repair.
- SOFTFIX-PK: a PEEK interference screw for distal biceps repair.
