PLGA - Avoiding Secondary Operations


When we ask Clinicians "when should surgery be avoided in paediatric orthopaedics?".   Most laugh and say "whenever possible!".


The new range of PLGA Bioretec Implants provide surgeons with just that opportunity to avoid secondary operations, along with reduced clinic times while still providing strong and active fixation without the adverse events and leftover material seen with older generation bioabsorbables. 


WORLD 1st Activa Bioabsorbable Forearm Nail for unstable fractures using a procedure similar to Elastic Titanium Nailing without the need for removal!


Activa 2.7 and 3.5 mm Pins for wrist fracture management - again no removal necessary!


Activa Nails and Pins for bone and soft tissue trauma - strength compression without the risk or removal needed for metal implants. 

Activa Screws & Cannulated Screws where screws are needed but not the later issues facing metal implants. ​
