Osteoraptor 2.3/2.9

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.

Choice of Sizes


  • 2.3 mm and 2.9 mm anchor sizes give surgeons more repair options.
  • Two sizes allow for easy revision when necessary.
  • Anchors come preloaded with high-strength ULTRABRAID◊ Suture.
