Meniscus Mender II (MMII) is designed for repairing the meniscus under direct arthroscopic monitoring. The MMII allows the surgeon to work from the outside of the knee into the joint, instead of starting sutures inside the capsule and blindly exiting out the back. This represents a safer, more effective method of treatment for repairable meniscus tears.

The MMII utilizes curved and straight spinal needles and a patented "Loop". The components, combined with the outside-in approach, minimize the risk of damage to neurovascular structures during meniscal repair. The Suture Circle arthroscopically assists the surgeon in stabilizing the meniscus during needle placement.

Passing suture material through the Loop is accomplished with either the straight or curved suture passer. The tiny jaws of each suture passer are smooth to minimize the risk of crimping the suture. Simple and safe to use.
