SPORTS MEDICINE pitonTM

Knotless Fixation System

Tornier has taken the Piton’s proven

concept of strength and security and

applied it to soft tissue  xation. 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.

Elegant Simplicity, Unprecedented Results

Designed to make surgery as simple as possible without sacri cing 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 Anchor is a truly exciting new product which allows for reproducible soft tissue  xation. 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.

Step 1.

Pass Force Fiber® suture through

the tissue.

Step 4.

Remove the inserter to individually and

sequentially tighten each limb, and repeat

previous steps to insert additional Pitons.

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

Step 2.

Load suture into the anchor by

threading the suture ends through

the wire loop suture snare and pull.

Remove the loader.

Step 5.

Suture limbs from additional anchors

can be sequentially tightened, and the

shoulder can be rotated or abducted to

assist with footprint coaptation.

Step 3.

Use mallet to directly insert the anchor

into bone (no punching, tapping, or

pre-drilling required).

Step 6.

Sutures are cut for  nal repair. Tied anchors

may also be used to perform an array of

double row techniques.

“The Piton is obviously a major advancement with its ease of insertion and unique suture management features.

It is great for dual row  xation, biceps tenodesis, and can also be used as a standalone anchor in smaller tears.”

– WAYNE “BUZ”BURKHEAD, M.D.

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  xation implant for:
