MINI-VIM® PK Ligament Anchor: Precision, Strength, and Biocompatibility

Author : Biotek Ortho | Published On : 23 Apr 2026

Orthopedic fixation demands solutions that balance strength, biocompatibility, and ease of use. The MINI-VIM® PK Ligament Anchor is designed to meet these requirements, offering surgeons a reliable tool for ligament repair procedures.

At the core of its design is PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), a radiolucent, non-absorbable material recognized for its exceptional biocompatibility and bio-stability. PEEK’s low coefficient of friction ensures outstanding abrasion resistance, making it ideal for long-term implantation. Each anchor is individually machined to precise dimensions, ensuring structural integrity and consistent performance.

Insertion is streamlined through a spear-guided technique: the anchor is delivered into a pre-drilled pilot hole, reducing surgical complexity and improving accuracy. This efficient delivery system enhances procedural workflow while maintaining secure fixation.

The MINI-VIM® PK anchor is available in three size options to suit different surgical needs:

  • 2.8mm (Single Loaded)

  • 3.0mm (Double Loaded)

  • 3.5mm (Double Loaded)

Each anchor comes preloaded with USP #2 BIOFIBER® sutures, which are uncoated to provide superior handling and excellent knot security. This combination ensures surgeons can achieve reliable fixation with confidence in both performance and durability.

Performance testing highlights the anchor’s strength:

  • 2.8mm anchor achieves an average pull-out strength of 221.0 N*

  • 3.0mm anchor reaches 127.1 N*

  • 3.5mm anchor delivers an impressive 368.8 N*

These values underscore the MINI-VIM® PK’s ability to provide secure fixation across different ligament repair scenarios.

By combining advanced material science with thoughtful design, the MINI-VIM® PK Ligament Anchor offers surgeons a dependable solution that enhances surgical outcomes. Its balance of precision, strength, and biocompatibility makes it a standout choice in modern orthopedic fixation.
