​Artelon – Upper Extremity

Features:   Low-Profile Inside / Outside stepped-tooth design that resists pullout Available in multiple sizes from 8 to 25mm Easy-to-Use Staple Inserter NeoSpan® SE is a SuperElastic, compression-ready fixation system designed for fixation of fusions or osteotomies of the bones in the hand. NeoSpan® SE’s compressive properties and stepped-tooth design resist pullout.  The instrumentation kit is sterile and disposable. The inserter spreads the legs of the staple before released for compression loading.       Compression loading: With the Staple firmly in the Inserter’s metal prongs, slowly twist the top handle clockwise, extending the internal plunger to spread the staple’s legs.   Release: Slowly twist the top handle counterclockwise.      

Artelon® surgical indications: Foot & Ankle Knee Upperfix Extremity  The key features of Artelon® are: Serves as a temporary scaffold for the body’s own cells while it degrades and integrates with the body over a six year period Stabilizes and relieves load during the healing period – long term support for healing tissue The Artelon® fiber retains about 50% of the tensile strength after 4 years. Artelon® is designed with a predictable degradation profile. Degradation is completed in approximately six years  About 50% of the initial mass will remain at the implantation site and is integrated into the host tissue Excellent biocompatibility -minimal risk of inflammatory reactions and no foreign body reaction Synthetic; eliminates risk of disease transmission or collagen reactions Manufacturers Website : http://www.artelon.com

Indications: ACL MCL MPFL Patellar Tendon Extensor Mechanism Posterior Lateral Corner

​Artelon® FLEXBAND technology is extremely inert, and less reactive than common biomaterials such as titanium, polystyrene and suture. Its high compliance also permits load sharing, which stimulates rapid tissue remodelling and scaffolds new tissue growth. ​Indications: Achilles Tendon Peroneal Brevis Lateral Ankle Stabilization Plater Plate Spring ligament Soft Tissue Reconstruction with Artelon for Multiple Foot & Ankle Applications
