ActivaScrew™

Product catalog summary

Product Overview:
ActivaScrew™ is a bioabsorbable implant designed for the fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, bone grafts, and osteochondral fractures, particularly in the upper extremity, ankle, and foot. It is suitable for pediatric orthopedics and features a low-profile screw head that can be adjusted to the desired length.

Key Features:

Individual sterile packaging for each implant.
Easy insertion with a removable metallic adapter.
Fully threaded design with Auto-Compression™ technology for additional compression.
Constructed from PLGA 85L/15G, which is replaced by bone in approximately two years.
Material and manufacturing technique provide high strength and stiffness, reducing stress shielding.

Technological Advantages:
Bioretec’s patented Auto-Compression™ technology enhances fixation stability by providing additional compression for up to 8 weeks, aiding proper ossification. The implant expands in diameter and shortens in length by 1-2% under hydrolytic conditions to maintain compression.

Indications:

Ankle fractures, including malleolar and syndesmotic injuries.
Talar and calcaneal fractures.
Fractures of the tarsals, metatarsals, and other foot fractures.
Various types of arthrodesis, including talocrural, subtalar, and Lapidus.
Fixation of metatarsal and phalangeal osteotomies, such as Akin, Scarf, Chevron, and Weil.
Upper extremity fractures, including distal clavicular, glenoid rim, proximal humeral neck, lateral humeral condyle, epicondyle, olecranon, medial humeral condyle, and distal radius fractures.

Product Codes:
ActivaScrew™ is available in various sizes, ranging from 2.0 x 20 mm to 4.5 x 90 mm, with specific product codes for each size.
