Y-Knot^® Flex

With it's small size and innovative instrumentation, the Y-Knot^® Flex System was designed to help achieve optimal anchor placement. The anchors provide up to 55% greater fixation strength than conventional 3.0mm press fit anchors while removing up to 80% less bone.¹ The curved and percutaneous delivery systems enable delivery around a curve and perpendicular placement for posterior SLAP and inferior Bankart repairs.

This can also be used for PASTA repair, Distal and Proximal Biceps repair, and Lateral Ankle Instability.

NEW! Y-Knot^® PRO Flex
The Y-Knot^® PRO combines our Y-Knot® anchor with a new, cleat-less suture release technology. The Y-Knot® PRO:

• Eliminates the need for un-cleating sutures after implanting the anchor by providing a more efficient delivery system.
• Available on all Y-Knot^® Flex anchors.

NEW! Y-Knot^® Flex with Hi-Fi^® Ribbon
Hi-Fi^® Ribbon is a 1.3mm wide, flat, tie-able tape. Ribbon is:

• 2X wider than #2 suture for broader compression and increased tendon-to-bone interface
• 14.0% stronger than high-strength USP #2 suture ²
• Smaller knot stacks than USP #2 suture ³

Y-Knot^® Flex with #2 Suture
#2 Hi-Fi^® Suture is:

• A braided, non-absorbable suture for soft tissue repair designed to provide exceptional strength for knot tying while helping minimize tendon damage
• CONMED’s #2 Hi-Fi^® Suture was shown to reduce mean cutting rate by over 50% when compared to FiberWire and FiberTape, which were more abrasive on the suture-tendon interface and led to higher tendon tear-through. ⁴
