Stryker introduced Citrefixâ„¢, a suture anchor system for foot and ankle procedures.
Citrefix is a disposable suture anchor that features a resorbable biomimetic anchor body. It is made with Citregenâ„¢, an elastomeric material made from a citrate polymer that is designed to mimic bone chemistry for controlled resorption without chronic inflammation. These chemical and mechanical properties are designed to help grafted tissue heal and healthy bone to grow when used in orthopedic surgical applications. The sterile-packed set includes a cartridge with preloaded implant and eyelet, a drill bit, a drill guide and pre-assembled inserter.
After the successful launch of Citrelock last year, Citrefix is the second product in Stryker’s expanding portfolio using the material, with additional products expected in 2023.
