Outcomes & Evidence
Biomechanical Evaluation of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repairs Over Time
This study demonstrates how traditional rotator cuff repair technologies resulted in 32% drop off in contact pressure over a period of 160 minutes.3
Features & Benefits
Self-Tensioning Technology
Testing showed that FiberWire® loses 52% of suture tension within 24 hours,1 while our dynamic suture technology self-tensions when needed to provide continuous compression for at least 12 weeks.1
Reduced Tendon Cut-Through
In biomechanical studies, DYNACORD™ Sutures were shown to reduce tendon cut-through by about 27% after 1000 cycles when compared to FiberWire® Sutures (p=0.012).4**
More Secure
In benchtop testing, Duncan knots with three alternating half hitches tied with DYNACORD™ Sutures were more secure than those tied with FiberWire.5
