MINI-VIM PK® is a non-absorbable PEEK (polyetheretherketone) suture anchor with a PEEK eyelet, which resists suture abrasion. It is tapped in after drilling through a spear or sleeve, and comes in knotted and knotless versions.
Knotless
The knotless anchor tensions and locks the repair without tying, avoiding knot stacks.
