Mitek Products is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative medical devices for surgery, with focus on sports medicine and reconstruction. In 1985, Mitek was the first company to develop and market implantable orthopedic devices built on new technology employing a nickel-titanium alloy known as Nitinol. Today the company's main products, suture anchoring implants, are recognized worldwide as the gold standard for tissue reattachment in a wide range of clinical indications. Mitek's anchors are primarily used to reattach damaged ligaments and tendons in the shoulder, rotator cuff, wrist, thumb and ankle.

Increasingly, Mitek's very small Micro Anchors are used for precise repair and reconstruction by hand, plastic and craniofacial surgeons. Mitek also markets the innovative VAPRTM System for precise, rapid soft tissue removal and modification with simultaneous control of bleeding. In February 2000, Mitek acquired Innovasive Devices. The Innovasive portfolio of products has expanded Mitek's offerings for ACL, meniscus, and cartilage repair.
