The Arthrex AR‑8991DS Disposables Kit for DX Knotless FiberTak serves as the single‑use instrument set tailored to the DX Knotless FiberTak anchor system. Rather than including the anchors themselves, this kit provides the sterile instrumentation needed during surgery—such as drill guides and guidewires—so that the surgeon can place the anchor in bone and properly tension the suture in a knotless repair. Because the instrumentation is disposable, there’s no need for sterilization or maintenance burden across repeated procedures.

In a typical surgical workflow, the surgeon would first use the guidewire (either the 1.6 mm or 1.8 mm one) to establish the path and position for the anchor. The drill guide helps ensure accuracy in direction, depth, and alignment. Once the bone hole is prepared, the DX Knotless FiberTak anchor (from the corresponding implant kit) is introduced via that instrumentation, allowing soft tissue fixation with a tensionable, knotless mechanism under visualization (a key feature of the DX system). The disposables in this kit help maintain sterile procedure flow and reduce cross-contamination risk.

From the standpoint of assets and cost management, using a disposable instrument kit like AR‑8991DS offers advantages: no reprocessing or repair of small instruments, less risk of instrument wear or failure, and predictable consumable usage. Because the kit is designed to match precisely the DX Knotless FiberTak implant’s requirements, it helps ensure procedural consistency and surgeon confidence. In sum, AR‑8991DS is a streamlined, sterile instrument toolbox designed to facilitate the placement and tensioning of the DX Knotless FiberTak system in soft‑tissue anchoring applications.
