Overview
New OSTEORAPTOR 2.3 and 2.9 Suture Anchors are the first bioabsorbable anchors for the shoulder to incorporate hydroxyapatite (HA), a bone mineral that is naturally occurring in the body. Additionally, OSTEORAPTOR anchors share the same design and instruments as our popular BIORAPTOR anchor system.
New tools and materials based on clinically proven technology - all make Smith & Nephew the leader in arthroscopic surgery.
A Natural Solution
- Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a natural bone mineral shown to promote bone replacement.
- HA exists in the body making it naturally biocompatible.
- HA provides a consistent degradation cycle by neutralizing the acidity of the area allowing higher strength retention over time.
