GRYPHON™ BR

Suture Anchor

Optimal Resorbing/

The Suture Anchor for instability that offers the procedural

flexibility of choice, by offering most of the advantages

of HEALIX®BR – only smaller.

The #1 Biocomposite Material for

Shoulder & Knee Implants1

Size and Flexibilty: when the anchoring location is tight

on space but the pull-out strength can’t be compromised,

call on the smaller sized anchor comprised of BIOCRYL®

RAPIDE™ – the #1 U.S. biocomposite material1providing

optimal strength.

The GRYPHON “T” (Thread-in) BR Anchor offers an internally driven

threaded anchor for tactile feel.

•Preloaded with One or Two strands of

ORTHOCORD®Suture

-55 lbs of tensile strength

-45% less stiff than Fiberwire

•Cannulation channels blood to the surface

•The GRYPHON suture bridge and internal

channeling provides optimal suture slideability.

The GRYPHON “P” (Push-in) BR Anchor offers a barbed design with

ease of insertion and provides greater than 25% pull-out strength

versus the competitor.

BIOCRYL RAPIDE’s resorption

progressed from minor changes

at 3 months to marked resorp-

tion by 24 months. Following

resorption, bone formation was

seen within the implant profile.

By comparison, PLA implants

exhibited significantly slower

resorption over time3.

BIOCRYL RAPIDE PLA

24 MONTH STUDY

A proprietary manufacturing process known as Micro

Particle Dispersion (MPD) Technology makes the

BIOCRYL RAPIDE a homogeneous blend of TCP and

PLGA particles. Dispersion of the composite particles

is critical to the material strength properties3.

Our Process Defines the Difference

BIOCRYL RAPIDE exhibited marked resorption from 18-24 months3,

accompanied by a gradual increase in the proliferation of mes-

enchymal cells that differentiated toward the osteoblastic line.

24 Month Study

Grading Scale

In long-term pre-clinical studies,

BIOCRYL®RAPIDE™has shown to

resorb and promote bone formation3

.

BIOCRYL RAPIDE composite is exclusively developed by

DePuy Mitek in association with Advanced Technologies

and Regenerative Medicine, LLC.

Developed for use when your procedure calls for

the beneficial results of a bio-replaceable implant.

BIOCRYL RAPIDE promotes optimized resorption and

strength and has been proven in pre-clinical trials to

resorb and bereplaced with bone in 24 months3

.

BIOCRYL RAPIDE is an innovative TCP/PLGA composite

(30% osteoconductive ß-TriCalcium Phosphate (TCP)

and 70% faster resorbing PLGA) that is shown to

resorb and promote bone formation within the

implant profile3.

Continued innovation with clinically proven

success in knee and shoulder implants3
