ORTHOSYN Bioabsorbable Pin is a specialized medical device designed for the precise and effective repair of small fractures, particularly in the epiphyseal area of bones. This device is especially useful in pediatric surgery, as well as in procedures involving the lower extremities and upper limbs.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Compliance with 93/42/EC Directive: ORTHOSYN Bioabsorbable Pin is manufactured in strict accordance with the 93/42/EC directive, ensuring that it meets the highest European standards for medical devices in terms of safety and performance.
- Rounded Tips and Customizable Lengths: The pins feature rounded tips to minimize trauma during insertion and are designed to be cut to specific lengths as required by the surgical procedure. This flexibility allows for a tailored approach to each individual patient’s needs.
- Optimized for Epiphyseal Fracture Repair: Specifically engineered to aid in the long-term healing of minor fractures within the epiphyseal area of the bone, the Bioabsorbable Pin is ideal for use in both pediatric and adult orthopedic surgeries involving the lower and upper extremities
- Bioabsorbable Material with Controlled Degradation: Made from PLDLA (Poly L/DL-lactide), the Bioabsorbable Pin offers excellent biocompatibility. As the pin slowly degrades, it is absorbed by the body and replaced by natural bone, eliminating the need for a secondary surgery to remove the hardware
- Long-Term Stabilization: The pin stabilizes fractures for 8-10 months post-surgery, providing the necessary support during the crucial healing period. After this time, the controlled degradation process allows for the gradual resorption of the material, ensuring that the bone can continue to heal naturally. Within approximately 24 months, the pin is completely resorbed, leaving behind healthy, fully formed bone tissue.
- Available Sizes: The pins are available in two standard sizes to accommodate a variety of surgical needs:
- Pin Diameter: 1.5 mm & Pin Length: 50 mm
- Pin Diameter: 2.0 mm & Pin Length: 50 mm
- Indications for Use: The Bioabsorbable Pin is indicated for the maintenance of alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses, or bone grafts in combination with appropriate additional immobilization. This makes the pin an excellent choice for orthopedic procedures requiring secure and reliable bone fixation.
