Arthrex AR-8990ST FiberTak DX Suture Anchor – 1.3mm SutureTape with Needles

The Arthrex AR-8990ST FiberTak DX is a state-of-the-art all-suture anchor designed for high-strength soft tissue fixation in the foot and ankle. This system utilizes Arthrex’s proprietary FiberTak technology, which allows for a significantly smaller drill hole compared to traditional hard-body anchors. This preserves more bone stock while delivering industry-leading pull-out strength, making it ideal for procedures where space is at a premium.

This specific model comes pre-loaded with 1.3mm SutureTape, a flat-braided suture that provides a broader footprint for tissue-to-bone compression, reducing the risk of "cheese-wiring" through soft tissue. The anchor is supplied with two diamond-point needles (1/2-circle tapered geometry), allowing for precise, low-trauma needle passes during ligamentous reconstruction.
