The CrossFix system offers surgeons the benefits of both open suturing and arthroscopic meniscal repair. The technology replicates results from ‘gold standard’ open suturing techniques but through a faster and less invasive all-inside method, said the company.
The CrossFix system is a suture only device that creates a 3mm mattress stitch for a fast, strong, and reliable all-inside meniscal repair. The device includes an incorporated cannula and depth limiter that controls needle penetration, reducing the risk of neurovascular injury.
Louis Rizio, MD, of Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center, said: “CrossFix is a leap forward for all-inside meniscal repair devices. CrossFix replicates the inside-out suture repair well and minimizes time and morbidity associated with inside-out repairs. The sophistication of this device is in its simplicity!”
