Bioabsorbable Interference Screws
Advanced biocomposite fixation for ligament reconstruction and soft tissue repair. PLGA + TCP formulation provides superior initial fixation while gradually converting to natural bone tissue, eliminating the need for hardware removal surgery.
Clinical overview
Bioabsorbable interference screws represent a paradigm shift in orthopedic ligament reconstruction fixation. Engineered from PLGA (Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) and TCP (Tricalcium Phosphate), these devices provide robust initial mechanical fixation while simultaneously promoting biological integration. Unlike permanent metallic implants, the biocomposite material gradually resorbs and converts to natural bone tissue over 12–24 months, eliminating the need for secondary hardware removal surgery and associated patient morbidity.
The bioactive TCP component stimulates osteoconductivity and bone remodeling, creating an ideal microenvironment for soft tissue-to-bone integration. The porous structure allows cellular infiltration and vascular ingrowth, supporting accelerated healing and stronger long-term biological fixation. With diameters ranging from 6mm to 11mm and lengths of 25mm or 30mm, these screws accommodate diverse anatomical requirements across ACL, PCL, medial/lateral ligament, patellofemoral, and biceps tendon repair procedures. The specialized ratcheting transmitter insertion tool ensures precise placement and optimal compression of soft tissue grafts against bone, reducing surgeon fatigue and procedure time while maintaining consistent fixation quality across all configurations.
