FDA Clears Acuitive Technologies’ Bioresorbable Anchor Device
February 16, 2021
The FDA has granted Acuitive Technologies 510(k) clearance for its CITREFIX knotless suture anchor system.
The product is designed to help with the attachment of tissue to bone during orthopedic surgeries, including ligament fixations and tendon graft tissue repairs of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, hand, ankle and foot extremities.
The anchor system is made of a synthetic biomaterial derived from citrate, a naturally occurring antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory molecule that is involved in bone regeneration.
