Graft Fixation System
Sports Medicine: Knee
GFS Mini, GFS II, GFS Ultimate and GFS Naked
Anika’s Graft Fixation System (GFS) portfolio is designed for efficiency and ease of use to help optimize patient outcomes. The GFS family of products is indicated for the fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring ligament or tendon repair. Our GFS products are suspensory devices recommended for ligament and tendon fixation procedures. The GFS Mini features a small button size that requires a stepped-tunnel technique. The GFS II and GFS Naked products feature a larger button that can eliminate the need for stepped tunnels, making them an excellent choice for revision procedures. The GFS Ultimate combines the convenience of adjustability with the strength and stiffness of traditional fixed-length loop devices.
