Stryker aims to support value-based care with its Cobra reusable suture passer for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Here are three insights.
1. Cobra offers additional needle stiffness to prevent intraoperative misfires and distal tip needle breakages.
2. The reusable suture passer employs technology Stryker acquired from Arthrogenx in 2017.
3. "We recognize that our customers will continue to be under tremendous pressure to increase quality while also reducing cost. Launching the Cobra passer will allow Stryker to better partner with our customers and align with their financial objectives while also improving patient safety," said Matt Moreau, Stryker's sports medicine vice president and general manager.
