Conmed Paladin Suture Anchor, 5.0mm O.D. x 15.3mm length, w/Two #2 Hi-Fi Sutures C5070H
The Paladin Suture Anchor C5070H is a screw-in anchor used for rotator cuff repair and shoulder soft tissue fixation. It measures 5.0 mm in outer diameter and approximately 15.3 mm in length, and comes pre-loaded with two #2 Hi-Fi braided polyester sutures. It uses a disposable driver for insertion.
The Paladin anchor is made from self-reinforced 96L/4D poly lactic acid (a bioabsorbable material) which offers high strength while gradually being resorbed by the body. It features aggressive thread geometry including a thread lead-in to facilitate engagement in bone, improving ease of insertion. The anchor also includes proximal and distal laser etch marks to guide proper eyelet orientation and insertion depth. This design aims to give strong pull-out strength with minimal profile in the head (low height) to reduce soft tissue irritation.
