LIGAFIX^®

LIGAFIX^® Bioabsorbable Interference Screw

LIGAFIX^® is designed to address the issues of osteointegration, poor resorption and inflammation seen in current resorbable interference screws. LIGAFIX^® is the only bioabsorbable screw available with as much as 60% β-TCP. Duosorb^® is a biocomposite material composed of β-TCP and Poly DL Lactic Acid (PDLA); providing an osteoconductive, resorbable and bioactive material with excellent mechanical resistance.

• β-TCP increases cellular proliferation through osteoconduction, leading to enhanced bone healing and improved osteointegration;
• Available in two configurations; LIGAFIX^® 60 for non-bone grafts and LIGAFIX^® 30 for BTB grafts;
• Reliable, timely resorption over 2-3 years;
• Degradation of β-TCP releases basic salts; these neutralise the acidic pH caused by the hydrolysis of PDLA, designed to eliminate the risk of inflammatory reactions.
