OVERVIEW · Product overview

Standardized repair for everyday joint injuries

The sports-medicine line packages arthroscopic visualization, bone-tunnel preparation, and biologic anchoring into a repeatable workflow for referral and high-volume GP surgery. Instrumentation is sized for canine stifles and feline joints without forcing human-ortho kits into veterinary anatomy.

FEATURES · Technical advantages

A complete intra-articular toolkit

From portal placement to ligament reconstruction, the line is designed as one system.

Arthroscopic visualization

Arthroscopic visualization

Compact optics and irrigation control for small stifles, shoulders, and elbows.

Bio-anchor reconstruction

Bio-anchor reconstruction

PEEK and absorbable anchors with pull-out values sized for canine CCL loads.

Minimally invasive access

Minimally invasive access

Portal dilators and aiming guides reduce periarticular trauma and shorten recovery.

CLINICAL · Clinical applications

Built around the most common sports injuries

Use the line as a standard kit for extracapsular and arthroscopic-assisted reconstruction, with matching implants for revision cases.

  • Stifle: CCL rupture, meniscal tear, TPLO adjunct hemostasis
  • Patella: Medial patellar luxation reconstruction
  • Shoulder: OCD debridement and labral stabilization
  • Rehab pathway: Early weight-bearing protocols with absorbable fixation

Stifle Anchor ProCore · CCL reconstruction
Stifle Anchor Pro
Anchor 3.5/4.5 mm · PEEK or absorbable · Pull-out ≥320 N · UHMWPE suture · EO sterile · 24-month shelf life
Stifle Anchor Pro is a bone-anchor system for cranial cruciate ligament reconstruction in dogs and cats from 3 kg to 40 kg. The kit pairs PEEK and bioabsorbable composite anchors with a matched drill, aiming guide, and UHMWPE suture, so the surgeon can complete tunnel preparation and fixation with one tray. Pull-out strength is specified against canine CCL loading rather than adapted from human shoulder hardware.
Meniscal Repair KitArthroscopic · Meniscus
Meniscal Repair Kit
Scope 1.9/2.7 mm · Portal <2 cm · Curved passer · Absorbable PGA suture · EO sterile · 24-month shelf life
The Meniscal Repair Kit provides arthroscopic instrumentation for meniscal tear management in canine and feline stifles. It combines 1.9 mm and 2.7 mm scope-compatible probes, a curved suture passer, and absorbable PGA suture so the surgeon can debride or repair through portals under 2 cm. Instrument curvature is set for the tight caudal compartment of a canine stifle rather than a human knee.
Bio-Ligament TapeAugmentation · Absorbable
Bio-Ligament Tape
Tape width 2/4 mm · Tensile ≥400 N · Absorbable or UHMWPE · Low tissue cut-through · EO sterile · 24-month shelf life
Bio-Ligament Tape is a flat braided augmentation implant for ligament reconstruction and joint stabilization in dogs and cats. The wide load-bearing profile spreads tension over a broader footprint than round suture, reducing the tissue cut-through seen in soft-tissue fixation. Absorbable and non-absorbable constructions are available, letting the surgeon choose between temporary support during remodeling and permanent stabilization.
Optical Nav BetaResearch · Concept validation
Optical Nav Beta
Optical tracking · Target <1 mm registration · CT-based planning · 4 validation sites · Research use only
Optical Nav Beta is a research-stage surgical navigation platform using marker-based optical tracking to guide corrective osteotomy and implant placement in dogs. The system targets sub-millimeter registration error against pre-operative CT, with the aim of replacing freehand angular estimation in complex limb deformity correction. It is in concept validation at four partner sites and is not commercially available.
V-CLAMP 100Entry · Small dogs & cats
V-CLAMP 100
Vessel 2–4 mm · Clamping force 5–9 N · Response ≤1.5 s · Ti-6Al-4V · EO sterile · 36-month shelf life
V-CLAMP 100 is the entry model of the V-CLAMP vascular closure platform, engineered for small dogs and cats with vessel diameters between 2 mm and 4 mm. A miniature pressure sensor reads clamping force in real time and holds the jaw within the optimal closure window, so the vessel wall is sealed without being crushed. The medical-grade titanium alloy jaw carries a biocompatible coating that has passed ISO 10993 cytotoxicity testing, and the one-handed quick-release mechanism lets the surgeon withdraw the instrument within three seconds of closure. Typical use covers ovariohysterectomy, splenectomy, thyroidectomy, and local tumor resection in patients from 2 kg to 15 kg.
