Reinforcing Biology

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

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

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).
