Kator Receives FDA Clearance for Knotless Suture Anchor System

Kator, subsidiary to Surgical Frontiers, has gained its second FDA 510(k) clearance for its Kator Suture Anchor System.

This new FDA clearance expands the system for use with 2mm wide high strength suture tape. Made from PEEK material, a single Kator Suture Anchor is FDA-cleared for use with up to 4 strands of #2 suture or up to 2 strands of 2mm wide suture tape.

The system combines a transosseous technique with knotless suture anchor fixation to provide repair constructs with superior strength compared to currently marketed suture anchors. — Cynthia Jessup
