Rotator cuff repair reattaches torn tendon to the humerus with suture anchors, usually arthroscopically. Large and massive tears may also be reinforced with a patch.
- VIMFIX-PK: fully threaded PEEK anchors (4.5 and 5.5 mm), double or triple loaded, for primary or medial-row fixation.
- FIBERKNOT 2.9 mm: all-suture anchors needing only a small pilot hole.
- Pitch-Patch: a patch to augment (not bridge) repairs of massive tears or where tissue quality is poor.
