The X-Twist is a knotless, open architecture, and fast inserting suture anchor system available in multiple sliding suture and suture tape configurations.

Available in either PEEK or Biocomposite with three anchor diameters, the X-Twist Fixation System is designed for versatility.

Key Features & Benefits

Anchor Design

  • Available in PEEK or Biocomposite anchors
  • Ample PEEK distal eyelet simultaneously accommodates up to four 2mm tapes plus three #2 sutures
  • Anchor body features a double helix threaded design with high thread pitch
  • Open architecture design with vents around the anchor body intended to enhance marrow flow to the repair site to support healing and bony ingrowth for longer-term stability

Suture Options

  • Solid color and striped sutures to support intra-operative suture management
  • Sliding retention sutures can be incorporated into repair to address patient specific needs
  • Static suture tape for medial row application provides a broad footprint, maximizing the surface area of tendon to bone compression to support tendon integrity and healing to bone

  • Firmly holds anchor body position on driver shaft prior to insertion
  • Provides over 2 times the torsional efficiency of a traditional hex drive design for reliable insertion, even in hard bone
