Conmed GENESYS Matryx 8.0 x 20.0mm Interference Screw 238020M5
The GENESYS Matryx 8.0 × 20.0 mm Interference Screw is an orthopedic implant used for ligament reconstruction surgery. It secures a graft inside a bone tunnel. The biocomposite material supports bone ingrowth over time.
This interference screw provides solid initial fixation for grafts during the early healing period before gradually allowing biological integration. Its composition of microTCP and PLA (96L/4D) offers a balance of mechanical strength and resorbability. The thread design is intended to minimize graft damage and aid insertion into bone tunnels. It is especially suited for ACL or PCL graft fixation in knee surgeries.
