MITEK Products

SurgeonsMitek 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. The wide selection of VAPR electrodes, now including the small diameter series, facilitates access to regions of the shoulder , knee, wrist, elbow and ankle for use in a broad range of indications. The VAPR T family of electrodes can be used to thermally modify collagen in soft tissue.

In February 2000, Mitek acquired Innovasive Devices and DePuy Orthotech. The Innovasive & Orthotech portfolio of products has significantly expanded Mitek's offerings for ACL, meniscus, and cartilage repair. Since the Australian and New Zealand launch of the new look Mitek in April 2000 we are proud to offer our existing and new customers a complete range of innovative orthopaedic sports medicine devices.
