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 haven’t looked back. This award winning 100% suture based anchor system has quickly evolved into a family of anchors that offers the widest range of options 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 tunnel1
  • Versatile: Gain access to the most robust soft anchor system on the market, which includes seven different size offerings and size specific instrumentation.
  • Strong: Strength is equal to or greater than some anchors two or three times larger2 and high pullout strength ranging from 20-120 lbs., depending on size of anchor3,4
