Conmed TruShot with Y-Knot, drill diameter–1.7mm, drill depth–10mm,one #2-0 Hi-Fi Suture with needles YSTN20
The TruShot with Y-Knot Shallow (1.7 mm, Cat# YSTN20) is a minimally invasive all-suture anchor system designed for small joint soft tissue fixation. It uses a 1.7 mm drill diameter and requires only 10 mm of drill depth for anchor placement. The system includes one #2-0 Hi-Fi suture with needles for reliable tendon or ligament repair.
This anchor system from CONMED is optimized for small-bone anatomy (hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle) by offering a shallow 10 mm tunnel depth—ideal when bone real estate is limited. The integrated delivery device (drill guide, drill bit and anchor cartridge) simplifies insertion and ensures precise alignment, reducing surgical steps and potential misalignment. The #2-0 Hi-Fi suture included provides strong fixation while the all-suture construct avoids leaving a hard anchor behind in the bone. By combining minimal invasiveness with robust fixation strength, this system enhances workflow efficiency and patient outcomes in extremity soft-tissue repair.
