Resofix®

Material: Poly-D, L-Lactide
Manufacturer: Resoimplant GmbH, Germany

Description
The RESOFIX system has been developed for minimal invasive arthroscopic “key-hole surgery”. The resorbable 2-shell expansion bolt is used for the fixation of transplanted crucial ligaments in the bones of the thigh and lower leg. The parallel inclination of the bolt halves gives a secure hold which is guaranteed for the time it takes the transplant to heal. The duration of the stability of the RESOFIX bolts and the time of the complete resorption can be determined by the lactide composition. After healing is complete (after two years at the latest) the polylactide of the current RESOFIX bolts is resorbed completely without residue by the body’s own metabolism.
