XIROS AchilloCord PLUS

For acute achilles tendon repair

Acute Achilles Tendon Repair

AchilloCordPLUS is a permanent, flexible tubular implant, 5 mm in diameter and 800 mm in length.

Its densely woven structure provides strength and durability, while the flat ends are designed for easy passage through a probe, enabling smooth placement through soft tissue and bone tunnels.

Backed by clinical experience, AchilloCordPLUS supports secure tendon repair, early mobilisation, and reliable long-term recovery.

Features & Benefits

Advantages

  • No need to immobilise the leg in a cast postoperatively, allowing for early rehabilitation
  • Partial weight bearing and early mobilisation of the leg in the immediate postoperative phase helps retain muscle bulk and strength
  • Fast return to activities of daily living, retaining independence

How it works

 

Step 1.
The technique is performed through six stab incisions and a small posteromedial incision

Step 2.
Distal fixation is provided by threading the AchilloCordPLUS through a small (3.2 mm diameter) bone tunnel in the os calcis, followed by a single pass in the distal tendon

Step 3.
Proximal fixation is provided by threading the AchilloCordPLUS in a figure of eight through the proximal tendon stump

Step 4.
The AchilloCordPLUS is tied with a knot at the site of the rupture. The ends of the tendon are sutured together over the knot, so that the knot remains buried in the tissue

Poly-Tape 30mm Quads

Extensor Mechanism Tendon Reconstruction with Poly-Tape An extensor mechanism tendon rupture is a debilitating, though relatively uncommon, injury that requires prompt treatment. Reconstruction with Poly-Tape provides a straightforward, “off-the-shelf” solution that enables early mobilisation and supports faster rehabilitation. Well-established in clinical practice, this technique is backed by multiple published studies, all demonstrating excellent functional outcomes and reliable recovery. Established clinical history Studies have been published since 2008 treating a total of 88 knees for either patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon rupture with good functional outcomes. The earliest study used 20 mm tape, currently 30 mm tape is used. A Clinical Summary is available. • Good function restored across all studies (different scoring systems used) • Low levels of extensor lag and good range of motion • Low complication rates – re-rupture rate lower than reported in state-of-the-art literature Designed for success Simple Solution Straightforward technique for occasional need Long shelf-life synthetic tapes can be held in stock for prompt use None of the risks or availability problems of allograft No donor site morbidity as encountered with autograft For Reliable Results Provides excellent intrinsic strength and allows early mobilization Broad, stiff tape to reduce stretch in the repair – a risk factor for extensor lag Permanent implant – leave in place. Open weave structure of Poly-Tape allows a natural body response whereby native tissue integrates into the device Flat low-profile   Poly-Tape for Quadriceps Tendon Reconstruction
