-Stryker Hip Arthroscopy diagnostic: The Flowport cannula has a polymer construction designed to reduce the potential for latrogenic damage and be gentle against joint surfaces. The flowport cannula has a 4mm working diameter that allows the Curved Stryker Samurai blade to create a capsulotomy. The Stryker Bridge can adapt to our currently owed Stryker hip scope and our flowport cannulas to allow visualization throughout the procedure.

- Stryker labral Repair: Strykers Nanotack Flex system is a 1.4mm PEEK anchor and 1.4mm Flex drill bit. The flex design can facilitate anchor placement within close proximity to the rim for labral repair. The "Flex" design allows the anchor to be implanted using our currently owned straight and curved Nanotack guides.

-Stryker labral Repair: Strykers IconIx Flex system is a 1.4mm all suture anchor and 1.4mm Flex drill bit. The Flex design can facilitate anchor placement within close proximity to the rim for labral repair. The all suture base system allows for less bone removal during pilot hole creation without compromising pull out strength. The "Flex" design allows the anchor to be implanted using our currently owned straight and curved Iconix guides.

-Stryker Capsule Closure: The Stryker Slingshots pass and retrieve suture through a single portal using the Stryker transport cannula. The 2mm sharp tip on the slingshot allows for anatomic restoration of the capsule by not damaging the patients tissue due to the low profile tip. The Stryker slingshot is loaded with a zip line that has the optimal strength to close the capsule.

Stryker is the only known company that can meet the requested requirement of providing hip arthroscopy diagnostic, labral repair, and capsule closure platform. This is the only system in the market that meets the requirements identified herein.
