X-Twist One of the most common challenges with soft tissue repair in sports medicine can be poor tissue and bone quality, especially in the contexts of degeneration or insufficient healing capacity of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone density.
X-Twist is a feature rich knotless fixation system designed for maximal strength, versatility and reproducibility in soft tissue repair.

The X-Twist is a knotless, open architecture, and fast inserting suture anchor system available in multiple sliding suture and suture tape configurations. The X-Twist system, available in either PEEK or Biocomposite, is designed for procedural versatility: in single or double row repairs, in medial and/or lateral row applications, and in both knotless and fully knotted constructs, to facilitate the repair of soft tissue to bone. The versatility of the X-Twist system allows you and operating theatres to standardize around a single suture anchor platform for a wide variety of applications without making any changes to current technique or material preferences.

Key Features
High suture/tape bearing capacity
X-Twist
Simultaneously accommodates four 2mm tapes plus three #2 sutures, or up to fourteen 1.6mm tapes in the distal eyelet. Designed to enhance surface area compression, points of fixation, and load sharing to maximize the potential of soft tissue healing to bone.
Sliding retention sutures and tapes
X-Twist
Can be incorporated into repair or discarded. A knotless anchor platform that can also be used like a traditional double-loaded anchor with multiple sliding 1.6mm suture tapes.
Open architecture
X-Twist
Design 1.4mm vents run along four sides of the fully threaded anchor body. Enhances marrow element flow to support repair site healing and fixation site bony ingrowth.
Unique X-Spline™ drive
X-Twist
X-Spline drive provides two times the torsional efficiency of a traditional hex drive for confident and reliable insertion even in hard bone.
Double helix design
X-Twist
Two independent threads in double helix relationship with high-threaded pitch for fast insertion in only 3 ¼ turns.
Multiple material choices
X-Twist
Choose from clinically proven materials; PEEK for consistent, stable, bio-inert nonresorbable fixation or biocomposite (70% PLGA and 30% β-TCP) that resorbs while allowing gradual bony ingrowth over time.
Dr. Christopher E. Baker
“I’ve been using X-Twist for three years. It has consistently delivered the quality and reliability I expect in my practice. The instrumentation is easy to use and intuitive, and the fixation is robust. This anchor can be used both knotless and as a knotted traditional anchor, offering a wide spectrum of options for suture preference, including tape. The X-Twist can easily be used for nearly any soft tissue repair within the shoulder and throughout the body.”
