Zimmer Biomet has received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the use of its JuggerStitch device in meniscal repair procedures.

Zimmer Biomet’s meniscal repair device offers a less invasive, all-suture, knotless alternative for better patient treatment outcomes.
JuggerStitch implant has two soft anchors that are linked by a knotless, self-locking suture loop.
The company added that the device is meant for improved tissue preservation and control of the tissue compression at the repair site, compared to implants requiring sliding knot to lock the repair.
Zimmer Biomet meniscal repair range, which also includes CrossFix and MaxFire MarXmen devices, is part of its sports medicine portfolio.
