Ultimate Tension Control

Smart Tension Technology empowers users to adjust tension precisely, maintaining consistent suture tension from insertion to deployment. With an extended suture eyelet, Argo Knotless® anchors facilitate seamless suture loading and tensioning.

Effortless Efficiency

Experience optimized efficiency and reliability in every procedure, thanks to the cutting-edge design of Argo Knotless®. The state-of-the-art buttress thread design ensures robust fixation, minimizing the risk of anchor pullout for enhanced patient outcomes.

After anchor insertion, the Quick Release mechanism mechanically retracts the driver from the anchor body, simplifying disengagement and eliminating the need for backmalleting.

Available pre-loaded with swaged tape, Argo Knotless® shortens the repair process by reducing suture passing steps. A variety of suture color configurations provides suture differentiation, making suture management a breeze.

Want to eliminate even more steps in your procedure? Take advantage of the self-punching option and skip the step of pilot hole preparation.

Optimized Outcomes


GENESYS™ Biocomposite Material

Biocomposite material combines mechanical integrity with the natural healing process, boosting material strength. The GENESYS™ material incorporates ß-TCP in it’s smallest form, known as microTCP™, which is created through a proprietary filtration process. The result is a uniformly embedded blend that boosts material strength by up to 51%.2 The GENESYS™ material provides optimized absorption rates, and may promote bone in-growth to allow for seamless integration with the body.3

Argo Knotless® Provides Exceptional Results

CONMED’s Hi-Fi® Tape is 69% less abrasive than the leading competitor when measuring tendon tear-through, and offers broader compression than #2 suture for increased tendon-to-bone interface.4

Hi-Fi® Suture, Ribbon, and Tape

Unparalleled Strength and Healing

Step into the future of orthopedic surgery by combining Argo Knotless® GENESYS™ with CONMED’s BioBrace® technology, setting a new standard in orthopedic care. The proprietary architecture of BioBrace® features a highly porous type-1 collagen matrix reinforced with bioresorbable PLLA microfilaments.
