ACP - Autologous Blood Products

Autologous blood products have created a growing interest for use in a number of orthopedic therapies. The healing effects of plasma are supported by growth factors released by platelets. These growth factors induce a healing process wherever they are applied. The Arthrex ACP System is a cost-effective method of concentrating growth factors for therapeutic use. Producing ACP (Autologous Conditioned Plasma) with the Arthrex ACP System can be performed within minutes. Typical platelet rich plasma (PRP) systems take up to 45 minutes to process the blood for application, thereby delaying treatment and increasing the cost of the procedure. The ACP System can be used in a clinic or under sterile conditions in an OR setting. The unique double syringe design allows for convenient and safe handling, as the whole preparation takes place in a closed system.

Flip Cutter

Anatomic femoral socket placement is paramount to good clinical outcomes in ACL reconstruction. The restrictions of the transtibial approach have been shown to force socket placement outside the native footprint and thus cause unacceptable rotational instability.

The two-incision technique has been shown to offer increased flexibility in anatomic femoral socket placement, but can lead to higher morbidity and unacceptable cosmesis. FlipCutter technology allows surgeons to place the femoral socket without anatomic restrictions or femoral soft tissue dissection. Using the Constant Femoral Guide surgeons can place the FlipCutter in any orientation, from outside/in approach. Once in the joint, the FlipCutter can then be used as a retrograde reamer to create the femoral socket from inside/out.
