Stryker SonicAnchor System
The Stryker SonicAnchor System is a unique suture anchor with applicability in a wide array of orthopaedic procedures to include quadriceps tendon repair. The SonicAnchor utilizes fusion technology to allow for interdigitation of the implant with the surrounding bone structure. It works by using ultrasonic energy to liquefy the anchor tip allowing for the polymer to interdigitate into the surrounding bone. This potentially has the advantages of early bone incorporation and a stronger construct
