Arthrocare gets FDA nod for shoulder suture system | Regulatory Roundup

July 27, 2011 By MassDevice staff

Arthrocare

ArthroCare Corp. (NSDQ:ATRC) landed FDA clearance for its SpeedFix suture system for repairing tears in the shoulder joint, a common injury.

The sutures tout independent bone locking, suture tensioning and suture locking to fasten tissue to bone using double-loaded proprietary MagnumWire sutures.

The company won FDA clearance for their SpeedFix anchor system in November 2010.

The clearance is good news for the Austin, Texas-based company, which as been mired in a fraud scandal that took down a former CEO and resulted in multi-million settlements for VPs charged with artificially inflating the company’s stock prices for two years.
