ENGLISH
LUPINE™ BR Anchor System
DESCRIPTION
The LUPINE BR Anchor is designed for implantation
within a pre-drilled bone hole site and provides a means
for firmly securing soft tissue to bone using USP #2
suture. This operative suture is provided without needles
and is held in a USP #2 suture loop eyelet. The anchor is
preloaded on an inserter for open or arthroscopic repairs.
MATERIALS
Anchor: Composite made of absorbable Poly (lactide-
coglycolide) polymer and Tricalcium phosphate (TCP).
1. ORTHOCORD™ Suture is a synthetic, sterile,
braided, composite suture composed of dyed (D&C
Violet #2 or D&C Blue #6) absorbable polydiaxanone
(PDS®) and un-dyed non-absorbable polyethylene.
The partially absorbable suture is coated with a
copolymer of 90% caprolactone and 10% glycolide.
The PDS copolymer has been shown to be
nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight
tissue reaction during absorption.
INSERTER
Handle:
Polycarbonate
Shaft:
Stainless steel

CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Surgical procedures other than those listed in the
INDICATIONS section.
• Pathological conditions of bone such as cystic changes
or severe osteopenia, which would inhibit the drilling of
a precise hole or compromise secure anchor fixation.
• Pathologic conditions in the soft tissue to be attached
which would impair secure fixation by suture.
