![We’re thrilled to share that EasyWhip® was the subject of a recent publication in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (@aossmjournals): Biomechanical Evaluation of Whipstitch Reinforcement in Cadaveric Semitendinosus Grafts
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40934531/
CONCLUSION: “Whipstitch alone offers limited biomechanical security, but reinforcement with either a locking method or additional suture material significantly enhances biomechanical performance. Reinforcement may help limit tissue damage and reduce the rate of failure. The locking whipstitch method [WhipLock™] enabled by the 2-part needle [EasyWhip®] offers a promising alternative to reinforce a stitch with relatively less suture material than products that use a tag.”
In this controlled cadaveric study, semitendinosus grafts stitched with standard whipstitch were compared against reinforced methods - locking whipstitch (WhipLock™ with EasyWhip®) and suture-tag reinforcement. Elongation, ultimate load, and failure modes were evaluated across groups.
