Unlock high‑precision soft tissue fixation in extremity and small‑bone reconstructions with the Arthrex AR‑8979P DX SwiveLock® anchor — engineered to deliver secure, low‑profile fixation with minimal bone footprint. With a diameter of just 3.5 mm and a 13.5 mm length, this PEEK‑Optima based anchor offers the strength of a permanent fixation fastener while preserving bone and reducing the risk of stress‑risers. Its compact size makes it ideal for procedures in hand, wrist, foot & ankle, or other tight anatomic environments where space and bone structure are at a premium.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into the Arthrex fixation ecosystem, the DX SwiveLock anchor features a closed‑eyelet configuration that accommodates high‑strength sutures and permits knotless or minimal‑knot fixation techniques, supporting efficient suture management and reproducible repair constructs. Using this anchor enables surgeons to focus on restoring anatomy rather than wrestling with hardware; the smaller anchor diameter supports a minimally invasive approach and reduces cortical penetration while maintaining fixation integrity. Whether performing ligament reconstructions, tendon-to‑bone repairs or internal‑brace augmentation, the AR‑8979P stands out as a streamlined solution.

For surgical teams dedicated to operational efficiency and outcome consistency, choosing the AR‑8979P DX SwiveLock anchor means fewer instrument changes, simplified inventory, and a trusted legacy platform. With the single‑use per box system (1/EA), you reduce setup complexity and ensure you’re ready for the case. Accept no compromise when fixation demands are high but anatomical real estate is limited—opt for the compact, strong and dependable AR‑8979P to elevate your soft‑tissue repair protocol.
