Smith & Nephew launches stitch implant system for orthopedic surgeries

Smith & Nephew plc launched three suture anchor systems, tools which are used to attach soft tissue to bone, expanding its sports medicine portfolio.

The systems, called Q-Fix Curved, Q-Fix Mini and Suturefix Curved All-Suture Anchor, are for use in shoulder and hip surgeries, specifically for procedures with space limitations and where access to anatomy is difficult.

The new systems complement each other and are designed to improve the accuracy during suture anchor placement.

Suturefix Curved and Q-Fix Curved work to ease the access and trajectory when drilling bone tunnels, while the Q-Fix Mini All-Suture Anchor shortens the tunnel drill depth and implant length to 17.1 millimeters.

London-based Smith & Nephew designs and develops medical devices.
