  • Available with USP 2 or 2-0 suture
  • Average pullout load is 30.1 lbs. with USP 2 suture


Specific strength is a measure of pullout load per volume of bone occupied by the anchor. A high specific pullout strength indicates that large loads can be carried by small anchors. Since smaller size allows for multiple anchor placement, the load can be distributed over a large area of bone to reduce localized stresses.
