What type of anchoring mechanism is used in the 2.4 Pushlock anchor?

The 2.4 Pushlock anchor utilizes a knotless anchoring mechanism, which is particularly beneficial in surgical applications. This type of anchor allows for a streamlined implantation process where surgeons can secure soft tissue to bone without the need for tying traditional knots. The design of the Pushlock anchor incorporates a mechanism that locks the suture in place automatically once it is deployed, reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring a secure attachment.

This knotless approach not only simplifies the fixation process but also enhances the reliability of the repair. By eliminating the potential complications associated with tying knots, such as insufficient tension or improper placement, the Pushlock anchor is favored in minimally invasive procedures, where efficiency and precision are paramount. This innovation is crucial for improving patient outcomes and advancing surgical techniques in orthopedic practices.
