Smith & Nephew 2.9MM Curved BIORAPTOR™
The Smith & Nephew BIORAPTOR™ and OSTEORAPTOR™ CURVED 2.3 Suture Anchors and Guide System for hip labral repair are designed to provide improved access to the acetabular rim compared to traditional straight instruments. Coupled with secure fixation of the BIORAPTOR 2.3 PK and OSTEORAPTOR 2.3 PLLA-HA Suture Anchors, this specially designed curved delivery system allows for the anchor to be positioned closer to the articular side of the acetabular rim with less risk for penetration of the acetabular articular cartilage when compared to straight delivery systems.1 Placement closer to the articular side of the acetabular rim may allow for a more reproducible preservation of the labral seal.
