Morphix XT Suture Anchor
Morphix XT® Suture Anchor
Secure Soft Tissue Fixation with Shape Memory PEEK Altera®
The Morphix XT® Suture Anchor securely reattaches soft tissues (tendons and ligaments) to bone in tenodesis, tendon transfer, and ligament repair procedures. Crafted from Enovis’s™ shape memory PEEK Altera®, this anchor incorporates dynamic wings to enhance fixation by maximizing bearing area in cancellous bone beneath the cortical shelf.

The Proof Is In The Science
Lab tests demonstrate that traditional anchors can pull out under 1,000 cycles at less than 50% of initial strength. The Morphix XT® Suture Anchor, however, responds differently. Its dynamic geometry and stored shape memory strain allow it to withstand cyclic loading. Post-implantation, the anchor achieves its permanent, fully open "zero-strain" state, ensuring continued wing expansion and retention of initial pullout strength.1
