Information request

Ligafix® interference screws have been designed to ensure graft fixation for ACL reconstruction.

 

Concept

Ligafix® screws are characterized by their controlled resorption and their availability in several compositions and shapes. Ligafix® 30 are rather used for fixing patellar tendon grafts. Their high mechanical strength provide a strong fixation for bone plugs, particularly in torsion and flexion. Ligafix® 60 have been designed specifically for soft tissue transplants. Containing 60% of  osteoconductive Tricalcium Phosphate, they provide an optimal healing inside the tunnels.

 

Materials

Ligafix® screws have been designed in Duosorb, composite material made of Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) and Polylactic Acid DL (PLDL). This combination provide an osteoconductive , bioabsorbable and bioactive material while providing and excellent mechanical strength and elasticity.

Ligafix® 30 screws are composed of 30% β-TCP and 70% of PLDL.
Ligafix® 60 screws are composed of 60% β-TCP and 40% of PLDL. This innovative material is only manufactured by SBM.

 

Advantages

  • Implant adapted to all kinds of techniques
  • Round or flat head screws
  • Osteoconductive, absorbable and bioactive
  • No inflammatory reactions thanks to an appropriate amount of β-TCP
  • Instruments sets for all kinds of techniques
  • MRI and X-ray compatible.
