Reinforcing

Reinforcing


Providing strength and stability to ligament repair and reconstruction (1,3,5)

  • Reinforce autologous graft or damaged native ligament (1,3,5,6)
  • Accelerate rehabilitation by preventing excessive graft stretch and laxity (3,5)
Versatile

Versatile


Designed to address a variety of indications.

  • High strength-to-volume ratio allows maximal native tissue utilisation with multiple upper and lower limb augmentation techniques(1,2,4,6,7).
  • Refined instrumentation facilitates ease of use.
Biocompatible

Biocompatible


Immediate biocompatibility with survivorship data to 10 years (4,6).

  • Facilitates adherence and on-growth of fibroblasts and tenocytes (7,8).
  • Clinical and functional outcomes to 10 years when augmenting native tissue (4,6).
