The Crossfix® System
All Inside Technique with Inside Out Results
Cayenne Medical’s CrossFix™ system is the next generation meniscal repair device that offers surgeons the benefits of both open suturing and arthroscopic meniscal repair. CrossFix™ replicates results from “gold standard” open suturing techniques but through a faster and less invasive all-inside method. While competitive meniscal repair devices offer the benefits of an all-inside technique, these systems leave behind plastic implants that can cause injury over time. CrossFix™ eliminates the risk of injury by securing meniscal tears with the same vertical or horizontal mattress stitch produced with open suturing techniques. CrossFix™ addresses the unmet needs in the market by offering a simple and safe solution for meniscal repair.

The CrossFix System
The CrossFix™ meniscal repair system is a suture only device that creates a 3 mm mattress stitch for a fast, strong, and reliable all-inside meniscal repair. The device design includes an incorporated cannula and depth limiter that controls needle penetration. Both straight and curved needle designs are available allowing for easier access to multiple tear sites.
Benefits of the CrossFix™ system include:
- Reduced Risk of Injury: The suture only device reduces the risk of chondral injury common to plastic implantable devices.
- Reproducible Technique: CrossFix™ instantly deploys a 3 mm mattress stitch and pre-tied sliding knot through a single insertion into the meniscus.
- Biomechanically Strong Repair: CrossFix™ delivers biomechanically strong outcomes with pull out forces equal to open suture techniques*.
- Reliable Reduction: Pre-tied sliding knot with high strength suture results in easy knot sliding and simple reduction of tear.
- Controlled Needle Exposure: Device design includes incorporated depth limiter controlling needle penetration.
- Easy Access: Curved and straight needle designs allow for access to multiple tear sites.
CrossFix™ is intended for approximation of soft tissue in procedures such as meniscal repair. Please consult product labels for indications, contraindications, hazards, warnings, cautions, and information for use.
