The X-Twist is a knotless, open architecture, and fast inserting suture anchor system available in multiple sliding suture and suture tape configurations. The X-Twist system, available in either PEEK or Biocomposite, is designed for procedural versatility: in single or double row repairs, in medial and/or lateral row applications, and in both knotless and fully knotted constructs, to facilitate the repair of soft tissue to bone. The versatility of the X-Twist system allows you and operating theatres to standardize around a single suture anchor platform for a wide variety of applications without making any changes to current technique or in material preferences.

Key Features
High suture/tape bearing capacity
X-Twist
Simultaneously accommodates four 2mm tapes plus three #2 sutures, or up to fourteen 1.6mm tapes in the distal eyelet. Designed to enhance surface area compression, points of fixation, and load sharing to support the soft tissue repair.
Sliding retention sutures and tapes
X-Twist
Can be incorporated into repair or discarded. A knotless anchor platform that can also be used like a traditional double-loaded anchor with multiple sliding 1.6mm suture tapes.
Open architecture
X-Twist
Design 1.4mm vents run along four sides of the fully threaded anchor body. Enhances marrow element flow to support repair site healing and fixation site bony ingrowth.
Unique X-Spline™ drive
X-Twist
X-Spline drive provides two times the torsional efficiency of a traditional hex drive. Reliable insertion even in hard bone.
Double helix design
X-Twist
Two independent threads in double helix relationship with high-threaded pitch. Fast insertion with 3 ¼ turns.
Multiple material choices
X-Twist
Choose from clinically proven materials; PEEK for consistent, stable, bio-inert nonresorbable fixation biocomposite (70% PLGA and 30% β-TCP) that resorbs while allowing gradual bony ingrowth over time.
