Structure of the SharkScrew® suture, an allogenic mineralized suture anchor (AMSA). A The AMSA is armed with two FiberWire® #2 sutures and fixed on the implantation screwdriver. B Histological section of a sterile AMSA (toluidine blue staining) under fluorescent light. Decellularized and mineralized osteons with the surrounding lamellae and central Harversian canals are visible. C Electron microscopic image of the AMSA. Decellularized Harversian canals with surrounding bone lamellae are visible. D Animation of the AMSA after subtraction of bone tissue. The Harversian canal system is visible all along the suture anchor
