Technical features

High fixation strength: Q-FIX anchors showed the highest fixation strength in a 30 PCF bone block compared to other similar all-suture anchors.

Consistent installation: Active placement of Q-FIX anchors ensures internal stresses of at least 140 N, which optimises implant performance and contributes to high extrusion resistance.

Extremely low mobility: Q-FIX anchors showed the lowest level of displacement during cyclic loading of all all-hour anchors.

Improved access: The use of the Q-FIX curved drill guide reduces the risk of perforation of the joint surface and allows better access and accuracy when installing the anchor.

Minor bone removal: All-round anchors such as Q-FIX usually require less bone removal compared to solid anchors, which can help the patient recover faster.

Different stitching options: Q-FIX anchors are available with a variety of suture options, including MINITAPE suture, allowing flexibility to meet the specific needs of the surgical procedure.

The Q-FIX All-Suture Anchor Family is suitable for a variety of indications such as labral repair, rotator cuff and biceps tenodesis.
