ROTIUM® Surgical Technique Step Illustrated | Taco & Cannula Insertion
Description
This medical illustration highlights Step 2 of Atreon Orthopedics’ ROTIUM® technique, where the scaffold, pre-threaded with suture, is folded (“tacoed”) and positioned for insertion through a cannula during rotator cuff surgery.
ROTIUM Surgical Technique Steps
Step 1
Pass suture through scaffold.
Step 2
Taco & push through cannula.
Step 3
Position on the repair footprint.
Step 4
Complete repair with cuff over ROTIUM®.
Ghost Medical’s illustration captures the second step of the simplified and versatile ROTIUM rotator cuff repair technique by Atreon Orthopedics. This step demonstrates the scaffold already sutured and held by a surgeon as it is tacoed and prepared for insertion through a surgical cannula. This visual plays a vital role in surgical education and marketing by clearly illustrating one of the most delicate phases of the repair process. The clean design and anatomical accuracy support training initiatives and sales enablement for ROTIUM®.
This illustration is part of a broader Ghost Medical campaign for Atreon, which also included a surgical technique animation, updated conference marketing materials, and a full website overhaul.
