Achilles SpeedBridgeTM – The Gold Standard Achilles Repair
The Achilles SpeedBridge™ has quickly become the gold standard for insertional Achilles repairs. With over 2,000 implanted in less than a year, the Achilles SpeedBridge™ has proven to be a high quality repair in a sensitive operative area. The SpeedBridge™ doubles the strength over the standard two-anchor repair and the SwiveLocks® allow for a true knotless construct. The great strength of FiberTape® and its larger footprint maximises contact and compression between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus and can possibly lead to early return to activity. The SwiveLock®-C anchor is the only bioabsorbable knotless anchor on the market and the 2mm FiberTape® provides broad compression and tissue cut-through resistance. These characteristics have made the Achilles SpeedBridge™ the go-to procedure for insertional Achilles repairs.
