ArthroCare’s DoublePlay is manufactured from a proprietary composite material, the first composite to be used in sports medicine with clinically proven osteoconductivity and replacement by bone. This unique material is used in ArthroCare’s Bilok interference screw, and is said to have an unrivalled 10 year pedigree in advanced computation laboratory procedures without any reported cases of osteolysis or tibial cysts.
DoublePlay has received FDA clearance for fixation of suture to bone in the shoulder, foot, ankle, knee, hand, wrist, elbow and pelvis.
Jack Giroux, president of sports medicine at ArthroCare, said: “DoublePlay makes an invaluable addition to our sports medicine line of suture anchors, and we believe its state-of-the-art design and composition will make it the anchor of choice for orthopedic surgeons worldwide.”
