Acuitive Technologies was granted FDA 510(k) clearance to market the CITREFIX™ Knotless Suture Anchor featuring CITREGEN™ bioresorbable synthetic polymer. Acuitive plans to commercialize CITREFIX in mid-year 2021 with an orthopedic distribution partner.
CITREFIX is intended to support the attachment of tissue to bone during fixation of ligaments or tendon graft tissue repairs of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, knee, ankle and foot.
CITREGEN releases molecules essential to bone formation during bioresorption, leaving behind a biomimetic ceramic structure to be metabolized by the host tissue. This process avoids the potential for bulk degradation and chronic inflammation.
“This FDA clearance for the CITREFIX system is an important milestone for Acuitive,” said Michael McCarthy, Managing Partner, Acuitive Technologies. “The CITREFIX Knotless Suture Anchor System expands our reach in both the Extremities and Sports Medicine Markets. It’s the second innovative product from our robust pipeline that is cleared for commercialization in the U.S.”
