JuggerKnot® All-Suture Anchors
All-Suture Technology
Zimmer Biomet revolutionized soft tissue fixation in Sports Medicine with the introduction of the JuggerKnot anchor platform in 2009 with the 1.4 mm JuggerKnot, and we continue to innovate. This award winning1 100% suture based anchor system has quickly evolved into a family of anchors that offers one of the broadest ranges of options on the market for a multitude of different procedures.
- Clinical Results: One study, performed with the 1.4 mm anchor, demonstrated clinically improved patient outcomes and fibrous tissue, complete bony healing or combined fibro-osseous healing in the anchor tunnel2
- Versatile: Gain access to a robust soft anchor system on the market, which includes seven different size offerings and size specific instrumentation.
- Strong: High pullout strength ranging from 20-120 lbs., depending on size of anchor3,4

JuggerKnotless® All-Suture Anchors
The clinical experience of the JuggerKnot® Soft Anchor and innovative knotless design of the ZipLoop® Technology paved the foundation for the development of the JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor. With this design, the advantages of a knotless design are still achievable with the benefits of an all-suture anchor.
