Product catalog summary

Introduction
Richard Wolf introduces the BK version of BioactIF OSTEOTRANS Interference Screws, designed for reconstructive cruciate ligament surgery. These screws are bioactive and bioresorbable, offering enhanced performance in ligament fixation.

BK Series Features

Aggressive distal thread and conical distal shape for effective cutting and tightening.
Expanded size range for tibial and femoral fixation, suitable for various ligament grafts including MPFL reconstruction.

OK Series Features

Thread design protects grafts, ideal for BT and BTB grafts in primary and revision surgeries.
Recommendation to use a thread cutter due to the blunt thread shape.

Material Composition and Bioactivity

OSTEOTRANS is made of poly-L-lactide (PLLA) and unsintered hydroxylapatite (uHA), promoting osteoconductivity and bone binding.
Homogeneous distribution of uHA prevents inflammatory reactions and encapsulation.
Mechanical properties similar to bone, facilitating osteoblast activation and new bone growth.

Breakdown and Resorption Process

Buffering of lactic acid with uHA particles creates a physiological environment.
Homogeneous breakdown of PLLA and osteoclastic breakdown of uHA.
Mechanical properties allow for effective force transfer and bone growth.

Specifications and Accessories

BK and OK series screws available in various sizes with specific guide wires, screwdrivers, and thread cutters.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Conclusion
The BioactIF OSTEOTRANS Interference Screws offer advanced solutions for ligament reconstruction, combining bioactivity with mechanical reliability.

Redefine biodegradation! Breakdown and resorption process OSTEOTRANS is a composite material which is comprised of poly-Llactide (PLLA) and unsintered hydroxylapatite (uHA). A special property of this material is its osteoconductive effect in bones. This enables the surrounding trabecular structures to grow into the surface of the implant within a very short space of time (osteobinding) (Fig. 1). The special manufacturing process used to produce OSTEOTRANS facilitates an entirely homogeneous distribution of the uHA particles in the material. This is particularly relevant for the continuous buffering...
