Arthroscopy — Knotless suture anchor
Viplok®
Knotless PEEK and β-TCP anchors with PEEK or titanium tip. An advanced eyelet system allows passage of 6–8 sutures/tapes and provides tactile feedback while tensioning.

01 — Design features
Engineered for efficiency
An advanced eyelet system, five configuration axes, one anchor platform.
01
Tactile suture tensioning
Hand-controlled tensioning provides precise control over tissue tension.
02
Size variants
Shoulder instability — 2.8 mm. Rotator cuff repair — 4.8 mm / 5.5 mm.
03
Thread type
Available in wedge and screw thread configurations.
04
Material options
Available in PEEK and β-TCP — tap-in and screw-in variants.
05
Versatile tip options
Self-tapping titanium tip accommodates 6–8 fiber wires/tapes for robust fixation; PEEK tip supports 2–4 fiber wires/tapes depending on anchor size.
06
Knotless construct
No knot tying at the repair site — the eyelet system carries and locks the suture, shortening the arthroscopic sequence.
