DYNA Suture Technology - The Science Behind DYNACORD™ and DYNATAPE™ Sutures

THIS MONTH IN THE NEWS

Science in Suture Technology

Did you know that ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene stretches over time when under load?^1,2 A lack of persistent footprint area pressure may diminish the capacity of the tendon-to-bone healing to the tuberosity in rotator cuff repair. DYNATAPE™ Suture is currently the industry’s only self-tensioning tape.

Cutting-Edge Procedures

Explore the benefits of our medical procedures that continue to advance and help surgeons provide additional treatment options.

Arthroscopic Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction

The Arthroscopic Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction using Distal Tibial Allograft Technique is not only anatomic in the re-creation of the glenoid surface, but also in the preservation of the coracoid and subscapularis tendon and repair of the capsulolabral complex.

Lower Trapezius Transfer

Management of irreparable posterior and posterosuperior rotator cuff tears is very challenging, particularly in younger or higher demand patients. Other alternative procedures may not be optimal for patients who have significant external rotation strength deficits and minimal glenohumeral arthritis.

BTB ACL Reconstruction

The all-inside ACL reconstruction procedure is defined by the fact that sockets, not tunnels, are reamed on both the femur and tibia. Benefits of an all-inside approach may include less bone removal, shorter grafts, and smaller incisions.³

EARLY INTERVENTION

MONOVISC^®High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan

Is a single-injection right for your knee OA patients and your practice?

MONOVISC^® High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan is indicated for treatment of pain from Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. It is an FDA approved treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronan. Hyaluronan is a natural chemical found in the body. The body's own hyaluronan acts like a lubricant and a shock absorber in the joint.

MONOVISC^® is applicable to the USA only. Please refer to product safety information below.

Important Safety Information

MONOVISC High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and to simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen. In clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events were arthralgia, joint swelling and injection site pain. MONOVISC is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronate formulations or known hypersensitivity (allergy) to gram positive bacterial proteins. MONOVISC should not be injected in patients with infections or skin diseases in the area of the injection site or joint. MONOVISC should not be administered to patients with known bleeding disorders. Intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate preparations has occasionally been associated with allergic/anaphylactic reactions and transient hypotension, which have generally resolved spontaneously or after conservative treatment.
