Biomechanical Testing of Suture-Based Meniscal Repair Devices Containing Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Suture: Update 2011
Arthroscopy, 05/31/2012
Barber FA et al. – The biomechanical properties of meniscal repairs using the OmniSpan, Cinch, Sequent, and FasT–Fix 360 devices are equivalent to suture repair techniques. However, the MarXmen/MaxFire meniscal repair device showed significantly lower failure loads and survived less cyclic loading in the human cadaveric meniscus than other tested repairs.
