NOVOSTITCH^◊ PRO Meniscal Repair System

All-suture, all-inside repair across all types of meniscal tears, using the system that introduced circumferential compression stitching.

Part of the most comprehensive meniscal repair portfolio, to help surgeons address the unexpected.

All-suture, all-inside, for all tears

The debate on the risks of meniscectomy is over, with the benefits of repair now well documented in clinical data. What now matters is the choice of technology.

For the growing trend of all-suture repair, the NOVOSTITCH PRO System gives surgeons the ability to:

Use stabilizing circumferential compression stitching in meniscus-to-meniscus repair
Support anatomic reduction and uniform compression of the tear edges
Pass two suture limbs per insertion of the device, without the need to load each suture individually.

Explore further to learn why this is a crucial part of a 30-year legacy, accelerating the standard of care toward repair.

Built to repair any tear, any pattern, any patient

The NOVOSTITCH PRO System is engineered to enable repairs in tight knee joint spaces, delivering a continuous suture path around the meniscal circumference with minimal needle passes in an all-inside technique. Click through the system’s design features to learn more.

Joint access

A low 1.6mm curved upper jaw and retractable lower jaw (which houses the needle) facilitate joint access.^1-3

Repair maneuvrability

A curved upper jaw and blunt tip facilitate maneuvrability during procedures.¹

Protects cartilage

The intra-articular needle deflects away from the femur, minimizing the risk of chondral injury.¹

Simple suture management

Pre-loaded suture in single insertion cartridge eliminates the need for suture management. Available in size 2-0 and 0 suture.

Unlike other devices that drive anchors horizontally through the meniscus, the lower jaw of the NOVOSTITCH PRO Meniscal Repair System slides underneath the meniscus, allowing the needle to deliver suture vertically and thus enabling the circumferential compression stitch.
