Discover the “golden difference”

in shoulder repair
The KINSA™ Suture Anchor, 2.9 mm, is designed for use in arthroscopic
glenohumeral joint stability procedures. By giving surgeons the ability
to adjust suture tension independent of anchor depth and perform
repairs that don’t require knot tying, the suture anchors provide the
“golden difference” in shoulder repair.
