AAOS News: Smith+Nephew Highlights Sports Med Procedural Innovations

Smith+Nephew showcased its latest sports medicine procedural innovations for joint repair and arthroscopic enabling technologies during the AAOS 2023 annual meeting.

UltraTRAC QUAD ACL Reconstruction Technique

Several technologies combine for an advance, comprehensive procedural solution to expand ligament graft options and maximize the variety of patients that can be accommodated.
The new QUADTRAC quadriceps tendon harvest guide system, X-WING graft preparation system and ULTRABUTTON family of adjustable fixation devices provide a controlled, reproducible technique to harvest only the desired quadriceps tendon tissue.

INTELLIO Tablet

Designed for use with S+N’s INTELLIO connected tower, the tablet supports both wireless and tethered connectivity. It increases users’ ability to control and adjust the LENS 4K surgical imaging system, DYONICS POWER II control system, WEREWOLF COBLATION system, and DOUBLEFLO inflow/outflow pump.

CAP-FIX Capsular Management Family

The range of products is intended to maximize efficiency of capsular management procedures. The CAP-FIX suture passer reduces the number of steps required for capsule closure and CAP-FIX blades are offered as curved or straight with a choice of a pencil grip or handle for increased leverage.

REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant

The postage stamp-sized implant supports the natural healing response to facilitate new, tendon-like tissue growth and changes the course of rotator cuff tear progression. It’s been demonstrated to completely resorb within six months, and can also be used for hip repair and Achilles repair/reconstruction.
