DePuy Mitek 222333 HEALIX ADVANCE Knotless PEEK Anchor – 4.75mm w/ Suture Tape

DePuy Mitek HEALIX ADVANCE™ Knotless | 4.75mm PEEK | 222333 | BX/1

The DePuy Mitek 222333 (HEALIX ADVANCE™ Knotless) is a premier fixation solution designed for high-performance rotator cuff and soft tissue repairs. The knotless architecture of this 4.75mm anchor eliminates the technical variability of manual knot tying, providing consistent, reproducible tensioning across the repair site. By removing the "knot stack," this anchor reduces the risk of post-operative subacromial impingement and soft tissue irritation.

Constructed from PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), the 222333 offers a high-strength, non-absorbable interface with a modulus of elasticity closely matching human cortical bone. Its radiotranslucent properties ensure that follow-up MRI or CT scans remain free of the "blooming" artifacts typically associated with titanium implants.

Key Specifications

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Knotless Tensioning Control: The HEALIX ADVANCE™ Knotless system allows the surgeon to independently adjust the tension of the sutures or suture tapes after the anchor has been partially inserted but before final seating. This "fine-tuning" capability ensures an optimized footprint compression.

• Low-Profile Repair: By eliminating bulk at the repair site, this anchor is ideal for tight anatomical spaces, such as the subacromial space in the shoulder or the acetabular rim in the hip, reducing the potential for "catch" or mechanical irritation during joint rotation.

• Superior Pull-Out Strength: The multi-thread geometry is engineered to gain immediate purchase in the cortical shell while the deep thread pitch ensures high-density engagement in the cancellous bone, providing a secure foundation for early patient mobilization.

• Suture Tape Compatibility: While designed for standard high-strength sutures, the internal eyelet and cleat mechanism are specifically optimized for modern Suture Tapes, providing a broader surface area for tissue-to-bone opposition.

• Integrated Delivery System: Each 4.75mm anchor comes preloaded on a high-torque, disposable inserter handle, facilitating a "one-step" delivery process that minimizes instrument exchanges during arthroscopy.

Applications

• Shoulder: Medial or lateral row rotator cuff repair, and bridge-style (SutureBridge) reconstructions.

• Biceps: Suprapectoral or subpectoral biceps tenodesis.

• Hip: Acetabular labral repair and capsular management.

• General Sports Medicine: High-tension ligamentous or tendon-to-bone reattachment in large joints.
