The GFS Ultimate is a top-of-the-line suspensory fixation device that combines the convenience of adjustability with the strength and stiffness of conventional fixed length loop devices. The proprietary Parcus design consists of an UHMWPE loop that is infinitely adjustable between 12mm and 60mm allowing it to fit in virtually any length tunnel. The loop comes affixed with a choice of either standard or large titanium buttons. Button size allows a choice to utilize conventional stepped femoral tunnels or a single diameter femoral tunnel often necessary in revision procedures. Either choice provides the strength and stiffness required for successful ACL and PCL reconstruction.
The system does not require adopting a new surgical technique or additional instrumentation. In fact, GFS Ultimate can be used with transtibial and anterio-medial approaches, with outside-in instrumentation and reverse cutting tunnel instrumentation. In addition to its strong performance, the GFS Ultimate helps reduce inventory and simplifies the surgical procedure making it the ultimate value.
