DePuy Synthes 22245 HEALIX ADVANCE SP PEEK Anchor – 5.5mm w/ Dual Orthocord open box

DePuy Synthes HEALIX ADVANCE™ SP | 5.5mm PEEK | Dual #2 ORTHOCORD® | 222425 | BX/1 - Unsealed/opened

The DePuy Synthes 222425 (HEALIX ADVANCE™ SP) is a premium fixation solution engineered for high-demand rotator cuff and large-joint soft tissue repairs. The "SP" (Self-Punching) designation represents a significant leap in surgical efficiency, featuring a specialized tip that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most bone densities. This streamlines the operative workflow, reducing the number of instrument passes and total surgical time.

Constructed from PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), this 5.5mm anchor provides exceptional mechanical strength and a high modulus of elasticity similar to cortical bone. Unlike metal anchors, PEEK is completely radiolucent, allowing for clear post-operative imaging (MRI/CT) without the interference of metal artifacts.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: DePuy Synthes (Mitek Sports Medicine)

• Model / REF: 222425

• Anchor Material: High-Performance PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)

• Anchor Diameter: 5.5mm

• Suture Type: Dual-Loaded #2 ORTHOCORD® (High-Strength Composite)

• Tip Design: Self-Punching (Integrated Punch/Driver)

• Fixation: Multi-Thread Geometry (Cortical & Cancellous engagement)

• Quantity: Single Sterile Unit (Preloaded on Inserter)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Self-Punching Efficiency: The integrated hardened tip allows for direct insertion into the bone. By removing the "drill-and-tap" steps, the HEALIX ADVANCE™ SP minimizes the risk of hole misalignment and preserves more of the patient's natural bone stock.

• Dual #2 ORTHOCORD® Loading: Each anchor comes preloaded with two separate strands of ORTHOCORD®. This provides the surgeon with four "tails" for versatile suturing patterns, ensuring maximum footprint compression and superior soft tissue-to-bone opposition.

• Multi-Thread Fixation: The anchor body features a unique thread-start and pitch designed to gain immediate purchase in the hard cortical shell while maintaining high pull-out resistance in the softer cancellous bone.

• Radiolucent PEEK Construction: PEEK is non-absorbable and highly biocompatible. Its radiolucency is critical for surgeons who need to monitor healing or identify potential bone cysts without the "blind spots" created by titanium implants.

• Internal Suture Eyelet: The eyelet is positioned deep within the anchor body to protect the sutures from "cleaving" or "fraying" against the bone-anchor interface during tensioning and knot tying.

Applications

• Shoulder: Medial or lateral row rotator cuff repair and massive tear reconstructions.

• Ankle: High-tension Achilles tendon reattachment or reconstruction.

• Biceps: Subpectoral or suprapectoral biceps tenodesis.

• General Orthopedics: Any large-joint soft tissue-to-bone reattachment requiring high-strength, multi-suture fixation.
