Medline UNITE Foot & Ankle is debuting the FORCECORD Midsubstance and DEXLOCK Knotless Double Row Achilles Repair Systems.
FORCECORD is constructed from a densely woven, tubular, synthetic, non-resorbable polyester. The implant features flat tapered ends and uses a specially designed probe for ease of passing. When combined with Medline UNITE’s DEXLOCK Knotless Suture Anchors, the system is intended to offer repair through a streamlined technique.
Mechanical bench testing shows FORCECORD has 26% greater ultimate tensile strength and 18% greater pull-out strength compared to traditional 2mm suture tape1. The product is designed to accommodate quicker return to weight bearing as directed by a physician for patients post-operatively. In addition to FORCECORD, Medline’s new DEXLOCK Achilles Kit is now available for surgeons using a double row knotless anchor construct for insertional Achilles repairs and Haglund’s procedures.
“Medline UNITE continues to increase its focus on providing new technology to foot and ankle surgeons to help improve patient outcomes,” said Scott Goldstein, vice president of product management for Medline UNITE. “The FORCECORD technology has more than 30 years of clinical history outside of the U.S. The introduction of this new surgical solution to the U.S. foot and ankle market, along with our new DEXLOCK Achilles Kits, complements other recently launched tendon and ligament repair products, including the FORCEWEB Synthetic Ligament Augmentation Implant launched by Medline UNITE earlier this year.”
