Medline UNITE Foot & Ankle’s new FORCECORD™ Midsubstance Achilles Repair System is constructed from a densely woven, tubular, synthetic, non-resorbable polyester. The implant features flat tapered ends and uses a specially designed probe for ease of passing. When combined with Medline UNITE’s DEXLOCK® Knotless Suture Anchors, the system is intended to offer repair through a streamlined technique. The mechanical bench testing shows FORCECORD has 26% greater ultimate tensile strength and 18% greater pull-out strength compared to traditional 2 mm suture tape. The product is designed to accommodate quicker return to weight bearing as directed by a physician for patients post-operatively. In addition to FORCECORD, Medline’s new DEXLOCK Achilles Kit is now available for surgeons using a double row knotless anchor construct for insertional Achilles repairs and Haglund’s procedures.
