The Endo Button Continuous Loop system is a specialized device used for ACL reconstruction and other ligament or tendon repairs, providing a method of femoral fixation for soft tissue grafts. The system features a continuous loop of suture braid that eliminates the need for knot tying, allowing for a larger portion of the graft to reside in the bone tunnel. It utilizes a one-size titanium button with multiple pre-measured loop sizes to accommodate various graft lengths. The device is known for its high failure load compared to competitive technologies, ensuring greater strength.
Key features include:
-
CL Construct (Continuous Loop): Eliminates knot tying, increasing graft tunnel residence.
-
Greater Strength: Exhibits the highest failure load compared to competitive technologies.
-
Graft Accommodation: One-size titanium button works with multiple pre-measured loop sizes (12mm to 40mm).
-
Fixation: Promotes strong cortical fixation by resting on the cortical bone surface, providing dependable fixation regardless of cancellous bone quality.
-
Procedure: A standard technique that supports truly endoscopic procedures and enables hassle-free revision surgeries without lateral incision.
-
Applications: Used for Single Bundle soft tissue fixation, Double Bundle soft tissue fixation, and Bone Tendon Bone Fixation.
