The PolyPIN is such an implant. It is a pin made of a...

Bioresorbable bone pin from polylactide PolyPIN* Bioresorbable bone pin from polylactide PolyPIN* locking screw APPLICATION Drilling After reducing the fragments, drill a hole of the same diameter as the PolyPIN - diameter 1,5 mm for the PolyPIN 1.5 - diameter 2,0 mm for the PolyPIN 2.0 - diameter 2,7 mm for the PolyPIN 2.7 perpendicular to the surface of the fracture. If more than one PolyPIN is used, the drilled holes should not run parallel, but converge, to ensure secure fixation of the fragment. Length measurement After loosening the locking screw, insert the measuring tip of the...
