FDA clears ArthroCare's SpeedFix Suture System

ArthroCare Corp. (NASDAQ: ARTC), a leader in developing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical products, has announced that it has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its SpeedFix™ Suture System (SpeedFix™). SpeedFix, a push-in anchor made of PEEK (polyether-etherketone) polymer, is designed for the repair of tears of the labrum in a shoulder.

SpeedFix anchors, which are double-loaded with ArthroCare's high-strength MagnumWire® suture, provide surgeons with independent bone locking, suture tensioning and suture locking to securely attach tissues to the glenoid. SpeedFix is expected to complement ArthroCare's broad line of suture anchors and ArthroCare's suture passing technology, including FirstPass™.
