The Knot Hiding Acromioclavicular Stabilizingfor Acromioclavicular Joint Separation
The Clavicular Clip and Subcoracoid Clip are made of medical titanium. The Clavicular Clip is designed to sit flush on the clavicular surface without leaving a protruding knot. The loop of the Clavicular Clip hides the connecting suture knot in the clavicular drill hole.
The Subcoracoid Clip is designed to be a simple device with a smooth crossbar, which reduces friction on the suture. The clips allow the use of a double-folded No. 5 braided non-resorbable suture. Subsequent implant removal is not needed.
The CC-Clip® System is intended to be used with a tendon graft. Both the CC and AC ligaments are reconstructed.
The system includes the Curved Lasso-Guide for passing the tendon graft around the coracoid process and clavicle. The Straight Lasso-Guide is used for passing the nitinol lasso through the clavicular and coracoid drill holes.
