Knotless Fixation System

“The Piton is not evolutionary…it’s revolutionary!”
– GARY M. GARTSMAN, M.D.

Tornier is defining Sports Medicine
The PitonTM Knotless Fixation Implant
PitonTM

CinchTM Technology

SmartMetalTM Technology

Tornier has taken the Piton’s proven
concept of strength and security and
applied it to soft tissue fixation. The
innovative design facilitates precise
anchor placement via direct insertion,
provides exemplary pull-out strength.

Tornier’s proprietary Cinch technology
eliminates the need for knots while
allowing surgeons to independently
and sequentially tension each suture,
even after inserters are removed. This
innovative design eliminates knot
slippage and enables a uniform soft
tissue repair across the repaired surface.

Tornier’s SmartMetal™ is a temperature
programmed shape memory alloy that provides
exemplary holding strength in bone.

piton (pronounced pee’-ton)
a metal spike that is driven into a crack or seam
in rock with a hammer, which acts as an anchor
to protect the climber against a fall or to
aid in climbing.

The Piton
Knotless Fixation Implant:
- Completely eliminates knot tying
- Direct insertion; requires no tapping, punching, or pre-drilling
- Sutures can be independently adjusted and tensioned, even after instrument removal
- Excellent for both single row or double row repairs

“The Piton Anchor is a truly exciting new product which allows for reproducible soft tissue fixation. The ability to
re-tension the individual suture strands after placement is an outstanding feature which will improve results for
surgeons of all arthroscopic experience levels.”
– DAVID DINES, M.D.

Elegant Simplicity, Unprecedented Results
Designed to make surgery as simple as possible without sacrificing the strength and precision patients need
for fast and smooth recovery, the Piton Knotless Fixation Implant is an excellent choice for use in both hard
and soft bone conditions. This secure, knotless tool gives the surgeon complete control during single and
double row repairs with no punching, tapping, or pre-drilling required.

“The Piton is obviously a major advancement with its ease of insertion and unique suture management features.
It is great for dual row fixation, biceps tenodesis, and can also be used as a standalone anchor in smaller tears.”
– WAYNE “BUZ”BURKHEAD, M.D.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Pass Force Fiber® suture through
the tissue.

Load suture into the anchor by
threading the suture ends through
the wire loop suture snare and pull.
Remove the loader.

Use mallet to directly insert the anchor
into bone (no punching, tapping, or
pre-drilling required).

Step 4.

Step 5.

Step 6.

Remove the inserter to individually and
sequentially tighten each limb, and repeat
previous steps to insert additional Pitons.

Suture limbs from additional anchors
can be sequentially tightened, and the
shoulder can be rotated or abducted to
assist with footprint coaptation.

Sutures are cut for final repair. Tied anchors
may also be used to perform an array of
double row techniques.

*Single row technique shown above. The PitonTM anchor can be used with InsiteTM implants for double row techniques.

One complete system for multiple applications
Allowing the physician to address multiple surgical procedures, the PitonTM can be used in hard and soft bone. Single
and double row repairs can now be addressed entirely without cumbersome knot tying using simple or mattress
suturing technique. Consider the Piton knotless fixation implant for:
