1. Pass suture through soft tissue in desired stitch configuration. Feed sutures
through the anchor eyelet using the suture threader.
3. Remove the drill and drill guide. Advance the loaded suture anchor into the
operative cannula. Remove excess suture slack, approximate the anchor to the
prepared bone site, and ensure that the sutures are not twisted around the anchor.
5. While maintaining slight downward pressure on the inserter, rotate the knob
clockwise to deploy the anchor until a minimum of five (5) clicks are heard. Do not
rotate the knob counterclockwise during and after anchor deployment.
Turn until 5 audible
clicks are heard

2. Insert the appropriate drill guide and obturator. Remove the obturator. While
firmly holding the guide in place on the bone at the desired implantation site, use
the recommended drills to prepare the insertion site. For dense bone, it may be
required to cycle the drill in and out of the implantation site. Ensure drill is always
powered during removal.
4. Establish and maintain axial alignment of the suture anchor with prepared
insertion site. Place tip of anchor into the prepared hole. Apply tension to suture
limbs to reduce labrum to desired location. Use a mallet to tap the inserter handle
until the laser mark is flush with cortical bone.
6. Slowly remove the inserter by pulling straight back or back tapping the distal
end of the handle with a mallet. Do not wiggle the handle to disengage the
anchor. Discard the insertion device and cut the excess suture.
