TWINFIX AB 5.0 Suture Anchors provide a tapered body that is mated to the dilator to reduce insertion torque, thereby helping to minimize anchor breakage. TWINFIX ◊ AB 5.0 Suture Anchor Suture eyelets are located deeper in the anchor body to reduce suture eyelet failure under cyclic loading.

This non-absorbable suture is composed of a special ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene fiber and features a unique braid configuration. As a result, ULTRABRAID ◊ Suture offers special advantages over traditional polyester suture, including a high knot breaking strength, ideal lubricity, and a strong resistance to fraying.
ULTRABRAID ◊ Suture is preloaded on all TWINFIX AB 5.0 Suture Anchor that have #2 sutures.
In Perfect sealed condition but past expiration date. Not for human use in the US.
Expiration dates have mostly to do with sterilization and not the integrity of the product. The manufacturers sterilize the products after they are packaged and it lasts so many years. The only products we caution customers about are ones that are absorbable or drug coated.
