Arthrex 3.0mm Bio-Composite SutureTak Suture Anchor AR-1319FT Pre-loaded with #2 FiberWire

Arthrex 3.0mm Bio-Composite SutureTak® | Pre-loaded #2 FiberWire® | AR-1319FT

The Arthrex AR-1319FT is a premier labral fixation solution engineered for 2026 standards in arthroscopic shoulder and hip reconstruction. As a "push-in" style anchor, it allows for precise, low-profile placement along the glenoid or acetabular rim, making it the industry standard for Bankart, SLAP, and acetabular labral repairs.

The anchor is composed of Arthrex’s proprietary Bio-Composite material—a synergistic blend of PLDLA and Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP). This combination ensures high initial mechanical stability while promoting osteoconductivity, allowing the implant to be gradually absorbed and replaced by the patient’s own bone, typically within 18 to 36 months.

Key Performance Features

• Osteoconductive Matrix: The 30% TCP component provides a scaffold that encourages bone ingrowth into the anchor site, while the 70% PLDLA provides a predictable resorption profile.

• Molded-In Suture Eyelet: Unlike PEEK anchors with rigid eyelets, the Bio-Composite SutureTak features a molded-in eyelet that reinforces the suture-to-anchor interface, providing superior pull-out strength (typically exceeding 50 lbs of fixation).

• #2 FiberWire® Pre-load: Pre-loaded with a high-strength, blue #2 FiberWire® strand. Its multi-strand UHMWPE core provides the tensile strength of steel without the stiffness, ensuring secure knot stacks that resist slippage.

• Tapered Push-In Geometry: Designed for easy insertion through a 2.4mm or 2.6mm drill hole. The tapered ribs provide immediate interference fit, ensuring the anchor stays "flush" with the bone surface to prevent joint irritation.

• Disposable Driver System: Each anchor comes pre-mounted on a slim, disposable driver, facilitating a rapid "drill-and-fill" workflow that minimizes operative time.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Anatomical Preservation: The 3.0mm footprint is ideal for the limited bone stock of the glenoid rim, allowing for multiple anchors to be placed without compromising the structural integrity of the bone.

• Improved Long-Term Outcomes: By transitioning from a synthetic implant to natural bone, the Bio-Composite material reduces the risk of long-term "hardware" complications or bone cysts.

• Strategic Procurement: Sourcing genuine Arthrex overstock allows high-volume sports medicine centers to utilize the most trusted labral repair technology while achieving significant savings over standard GPO pricing.

Ideal Applications

• Shoulder Surgery: Bankart repair, SLAP lesion repair, and capsular shift procedures.

• Hip Arthroscopy: Acetabular labral reattachment and reconstruction.

• Small Joint Reconstruction: Specialized ligament stabilization in the hand or foot where high-strength absorbable fixation is required.
