PHANTOM®-LP Retensioning

🎯 One Small Adjustment. One Giant Leap for Rotator Cuff Repair🎯

In rotator cuff surgery, achieving the right suture tension is essential for building a strong and stable repair construct.

🔹 Over-Tightening can place excessive stress on tissue, potentially restricting blood flow and compromising the repair’s integrity.
🔹 Under-Tightening may leave the repair less stable than intended, reducing the ability to achieve the desired construct.

Either way, precision tension control matters.

That’s where the PHANTOM®-LP stands apart. It’s the first and only knotless 100% PEEK anchor that allows surgeons to individually adjust suture tension after the anchor is fully seated in bone, giving unmatched control and flexibility when it matters most.

🎥 In the video below, you can clearly see the difference:
🔹 The PHANTOM®-LP allows independent suture re-tensioning even after insertion.
🔹 The competitor anchor cannot, once it’s in, the tension is locked and cannot be fine-tuned.

This level of control empowers surgeons to optimize their repair construct for each patient, a small detail that can make a big difference.

👉 Surgeons: How important is adjustable suture tension in achieving your ideal repair?
👉 Clinicians & Patients: Would you want your repair to be adjustable for the best fit?

Let’s keep pushing innovation forward, one detail at a time. 💡

(PHANTOM®-LP is FDA cleared)

PHANTOM®-LP Giving Surgeons Total Control Even After Insertion

Aevumed’s PHANTOM®-LP Suture Anchor is a “knotless system” that is revolutionizing the way rotator cuff repairs are performed. For the first time, surgeons can treat patients without the concern of sutures cutting through bone – thanks to our integrated BoneShield Technology™. Additionally, the PHANTOM®-LP offers a groundbreaking ability to adjust suture tension after the anchor is inserted, all through a 100% PEEK implant with no metal components. But it doesn’t stop there. Our proprietary technology allows surgeons to lock and unlock suture tension multiple times intraoperatively, enabling precise adjustments throughout the procedure – even after multiple PHANTOM®-LP anchors have been deployed.

At Aevumed, we are committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge innovation, and PHANTOM®-LP is just one example of how we’re redefining orthopedic solutions.

PHANTOM®-LP Key Advantages:

– Adjustable Suture Tension: Lock and unlock suture tension intraoperatively – even after initial fixation.

– BoneShield Technology™: Protects bone from suture abrasion under tension.

– Metal-Free, One-Piece Punch Design: Direct bone punch with no metal tip – crafted entirely from 100% PEEK for smoother, faster procedures.

– Superior Pullout Strength: Designed for reliable performance and robust fixation.

    Aevumed – Be Active. Heal Better. Live Fully.

    First and Only Suture Tensioning Anchor System

    How often does suture “Over-Tightening” or “Under-Tightening” occur during rotator cuff repair surgery? Is there a benefit to controlling suture tension?

    Over-Tightening happens when sutures are pulled too tightly, leading to excessive tension on the tissue, restricted blood flow, impaired healing, and potential tissue failure. Can this limit shoulder movement post-surgery and cause stiffness?

    Under-Tightening occurs when sutures aren’t tight enough, risking an unstable repair. Could this result in poor healing, persistent weakness, or pain in the shoulder?

    The PHANTOM®-LP is the first and only knotless 100% PEEK anchor that allows for suture tension adjustment after the anchor is fully inserted. Dr. Matthew Ramsey explains how he uses the PHANTOM®-LP locking mechanism to adjust suture tension after insertion, as demonstrated in the video.

    Why expose rotator cuff tears to over- or under-tightening when it can be avoided? Comments are welcome—it’s how we learn and refine our skills.

    PHANTOM®-X Uses BioTendon 3D Technology For Advancing Rotator Repairs

    Is an “Overlay” or “Interposition” scaffold more effective for full-thickness rotator cuff repair? Is there a benefit to using both approaches (nicknamed the “taco” by some)?

    The rotator cuff is associated with fibrocartilaginous entheses, which provide a gradual transition from tendon to bone, accommodating both the tensile and compressive forces experienced in the shoulder joint.

    “Overlay” scaffolds are placed on top of the rotator cuff and are traditionally secured using staples or sutures. This approach is designed to promote healing from the top of the tendon and provide mechanical integrity to the construct. What effect does this have on the tendon-bone interface (entheses) and overall healing?

    “Interposition” scaffolds are placed between the rotator cuff and bone. They are traditionally made from synthetic polymers and rely on sutures from anchors to secure their position. This approach is designed to promote healing between the tendon and bone without adding significant mechanical integrity to the construct. What effect does this have on the tendon-bone interface (entheses) and overall healing?

    The PHANTOM®-X is the first and only scaffold with a delivery and security system that combines both the “Overlay” and “Interposition” approaches. The video demonstrates the ease of the delivery system and the novel design of the scaffold, which uses Aevumed’s proprietary 3D printing technology, BioTendon 3D™, to fabricate tendon-specific scaffolds.

    Why limit full-thickness rotator cuff tears to just one approach when both can be used? Comments are welcome. It’s how we learn.

    PHANTOM®-LP BoneShield™ Technology

    How often does “Bone Cheese-Cutting” occur during Rotator Cuff surgery?

    External Suture Anchors have sutures on the outside of the anchor exposing sutures that cut bone (Bone Cheese-Cutting). This can be apparently seen during surgery but what happens after the surgery when sutures experience micro-motion from the human body?

    Internal Suture Anchors have sutures inside the anchor and protect bone from being cut by sutures.

    The PHANTOM®-LP is the first and only knotless 100% PEEK anchor that is an Internal Suture Anchor. Biomechanics research as shown in the video demonstrate how the PHANTOM®-LP can protect bone from Bone Cheese-Cutting even after 1,000 load cycles.

    Why expose bone to Cheese-Cutting when it can be avoided? Comments are welcome. It’s how we learn and hone our craft.
