NEW Y-Knot® RC with Tape Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor System Y-Knot® RC Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor System With strong fixation and a simple, self-punching technique, Y-Knot® RC anchors help overcome the trade-offs of traditional rotator cuff anchors while the NEW Hi-Fi® Tape and Hi-Fi® Suture have been shown1,2 to reduce abrasion and tendon tear-through.

Why Y-Knot® Simple, Strong & Small Simple: Currently the Only Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor Y-Knot® RC anchors can help streamline procedures with a fast efficient technique.

This system eliminates the steps of creating and then finding a pilot hole as commonly seen with PEEK, Biocomposite and other all-suture anchors.
Strong: 360 o FormFit™ Fixation Y-Knot® RC anchors provide stronger fixation (575N) than traditional 5.5mm anchors3,4 by deploying from 2.8mm to 5.0mm subcortically.

This is ideal for when bone real estate is limited or during revisions when the original anchors remain intact.

All-Suture: Less Invasive Y-Knot® RC anchors are a great choice for surgeons concerned with biocompatibility while also eliminating the possibility of hard loose bodies.

Their small size and all-suture construct help make them a less invasive implant than PEEK or biocomposites while maintaining fixation strength.
The World’s First Self-Punching All-Suture Anchor with Tape Y-Knot® RC anchors expand to 5.0mm under the cortex for firm fixation even in soft bone. "

Y-Knot ® RC anchors are excellent for routine or revision rotator cuff repair.

I use this anchor for all patients and with all types of rotator cuff tears because the anchor can be used in single or double row constructs and the single step, self-punching insertion simplifies the surgical procedure.
The small size allows fixation in a wide range of locations, which is particularly important in revision cases where space may be limited. "
