ActivaScrew - Model Interference TCP -Biocomposite Interference Screw

The ActivaScrew Interference TCP is an advanced biocomposite interference screw designed for the fixation of tissues, like ligaments or tendons, to bone. It is notable for its absorbability, eliminating the need for implant removal surgery since it fully degrades over approximately two years. It is made of a self-reinforced poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) matrix combined with osteoconductive β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Optimized β-TCP particle size in combination with Self-Locking SL™ technology allows for a 1-2% expansion in physiological environments, enhancing the mechanical fixation by compressing grafts tightly. Known for its exceptional biocompatibility, the screw is effective across a wide range of anatomical locations such as the knee, shoulder, and foot, making it especially useful in pediatric orthopedics. It offers a 30% increased pull-out strength compared to market competitors, ensuring excellent strength retention throughout bone healing.
