Innovative Anchor System Fixates Sutures to Bone

Each anchor is 15mm long by 5.5mm in diameter, and has an eyelet at the top that is used as an attachment point for up to three #2 sutures of any brand, which are not included in the system. The system contains an instrument tray and instruments to fixate the anchors, including an anchor driver, a 5.5mm combined punch/tap, and a suture threader. All instruments are made from stainless steel and aluminum.

“The OIC Anchor System is a natural addition to our value based product offering,” said Petr Colwell, lead product engineer at OIC. “It offers surgeons the features they expect, while reducing the overall cost to their patients.”

“The OIC Anchor System marks OIC's entrance into the sports medicine market,” said Itai Nemovicher, President and CEO of OIC. “Our goal is to continue driving down the cost of care through each product line by increasing operational efficiencies, eliminating waste, and delivering clinically equivalent implant systems.”
