featureS and BenefitS of orthocord SutureS
orthocord® Suture
ORTHOCORD Suture Featuresx high tensile and knot strengthx Balance of knot slide ability, knot security, stiffness,
and elastic tensionx Less likelihood of abrasion to surrounding tissues
or surgeon’s hands1
x Small knot profi lex Less susceptible to bacterial adherence2
concLuSion: the knot break strength of orthocord #2 Suture is higher than the knot break strength of fiberwire #2 Suture.
concLuSion: orthocord #2 Suture is 45% less stiff than the fiberwire #2 Suture.

Note: All QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor designs use barbs for retention in bone. Once set, these anchors cannot be removed or reoriented. If needed, another anchor can be placed adjacent to the first. Refer to next section for adjacent anchor placement guidance.

2. insert anchor (figure 2) by pushing into bone until fully seated (until inserter shoulder contacts bone). a mallet may be needed to fully insert anchor.
Warning: Anchor MUST be inserted to shoulder depth to prevent suture damage.
Note: Do not attempt to twist or bend handle during insertion.
3. pull back on inserter handle until anchor has disengaged from inserter (figure 3). there will be a slight resistance as handle is disengaged due to suture spool inside inserter handle.
4. Slide the suture cover back and remove suture.
Warning: Needles are attached to suture for Mini QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor, GII, and Super QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor Systems. Take precautions when removing suture.
5. pull on both ends of suture to set anchor.
if it becomes necessary to slide suture through anchor eyelet after insertion, avoid contact between suture and bone by holding suture in-line with anchor, as shown in figure 4. do not attempt to slide the suture through the eyelet, as shown in figure 4a, as suture damage may occur.

Placing adjacent QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchors
Note: When placing adjacent anchors it is important to note the orientation of the barbs on the QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor designs, as this will dictate minimum distance between anchors (see table below).

quicKanchor Suture anchorS with threader taBS
the mini quicKanchor, Gii, and Super quicKanchor anchors are also available without preloaded inserter handles or suture. refer to instructions below to load free anchors onto their respective inserters.
General Instructions for Loading Suture onto Free QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor:1. insert approximately 50 mm of suture through metal
threader loop (figure 1).
2. withdraw threader loop from anchor to transfer suture to anchor eyelet (figure 2).
3. center anchor on suture strand by pulling suture, as shown in fig 3. do not attempt to slide suture, as shown in fig 3a, as suture damage may occur.
NOTE: The maximum suture size for Mini QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor is #0; for GII and Super QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor the maximum suture size is #2. Super QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor can accommodate 2 strands of #2 suture.

1. Before attaching anchor to mini Syringe inserter, retract plunger by pulling back slider until it snaps into place (figure 4). attach loaded mini quicKanchor Suture anchor to plunger end of Syringe inserter.
Note: Mini QUICKANCHOR Suture Anchor barbs will slide into one pair of body slots; the suture will slide into the other pair of slots (Figure 5).
2. pull both ends of suture tight to hold anchor in place, then wrap ends of suture under rubber ring on slider. Suture should be routed through slots in slider flange (figure 6).
3. insert anchor by placing tip into pre-drilled 2.1 mm hole and pushing on slider until anchor is fully inserted.
Note: Do not attempt to twist or bend handle during insertion.
4. pull on both ends of suture to set anchor in the bone.

1. attach anchor (with suture) to distal end of Gii or Super quicKanchor Suture anchor inserter.
2. to secure anchor on inserter, pull both ends of suture proximally, then slide suture ends through slots in inserter handle (figure 7). if anchor does not fit snugly into end of inserter, check inserter end for possible damage (figure 7a).
3. fully insert anchor into predrilled hole (until inserter shoulder contacts bone). a mallet may be needed to fully insert anchor.
– 2.4 mm hole for Gii anchor – 2.9 mm hole for Super quicKanchor anchor
4. pull on both ends of suture to set anchor in the bone.
Warning: Anchor MUST be inserted to shoulder depth to prevent suture damage. If excessive resistance is felt during anchor insertion, check inserter end for damage (Figure 7a).
Note: Do not attempt to twist or bend handle during insertion.

Optional Technique: Use 4.5 mm Cortical Awl / Tap.
2. insert the anchor by turning clockwise (figure 1) until the anchor is fully inserted and the distal laser line on inserter is just below bone surface (figure 2).
Warning: Distal laser line should not be visible when anchor is properly inserted.
Note: Vertical line on inserter indicates the orientation of the sutures (Figure 3). The sutures are oriented in the same direction as the laser line and open slot on the driver.
3. pull up to disengage inserter from anchor.
4. open slider on handle and remove suture spool.
Note: When placing adjacent HEALIX Anchors, it is recommended to leave at least 5 mm of bone between them.
