See what our Surgeons have to say about EasyWhip®!
“This has become my go-to technique for open Achilles repairs. Utilizing EasyWhip® makes the surgery more efficient with less passes and more secure.”
Dr. Eric Ferkel - Southern California Orthopedic Institute
“After seeing the gift box technique online, I had to try it. Using slip knots, it was MUCH easier to adjust the tension of the Achilles Repair, rather than having an assistant grab the suture with an instrument while finishing the knot. Where has this been all my career?!”
Dr. William Crawford - Texas Orthopaedic Associates
“The pullout strength of the WhipLock™ gives me a lot of confidence in the patient’s ability to have optimal functional outcomes. The technique is easily reproducible and affords surgeons the ability to employ the most appropriate pattern based on pathology, tissue quality, and functional demands.”
Dr. Brian Benson - Beauregard Health Systems
“The WhipLock™ stitch is a modern surgical technique that strengthens the repair, supports proper healing, and helps patients get back on their feet faster.”
Dr. Mark Moss - Coastal Foot & Ankle Associates
"Like most good designs, simplicity is paramount. EasyWhip® is that simple idea that makes preparing a graft easier."
Dr. Michael Rytel - Greater Pittsburgh Orthopaedic Associates
