I dont see how you're fucked. I have no affiliations with Arthrex, Stryker, Mitek, Parcus, Tornier, whatever... its not hard to sell against this anchor. I looked on their website, and I can pick 3 things off the bat! Sure its metal, but: 1 how is their suture compared to yours? 2 those temp. deploying prongs are most likely weak compared to any barbed anchor, or screw in anchor. 3 say the doctor taps this in too far, heavens for bid, what are the odds that this thing is going to piston up and down until it hits the cortex with its "wings"? That would easily compromise the compression of the cuff's healing back to bone. Other things to think about; what sizes do the piton come in? do they have a back up if the prongs break through the cortex? That'd leave a pretty large hole. If the suture fails, your surgeon is then left with a piece of metal in the patient that probably could be removed, if they wanted to spend the time to do so, or they could use a bio product that would allow them to over drill in the event that suture failed and replace it with another. Lastly, self taping is a great feature, but its risky to tap anything into the glenoid without pre drilling if that where this anchor is being used. I'm sure i'll get slack for this post, and I dont care. The reason I no longer sell sports med is because I could think outside the box. Good luck to you, and happy selling.
