Conmed BioScrew Bioabsorbable Interference Screws 8mm x 20mm C8017
The BioScrew Bioabsorbable Interference Screw 8mm x 20mm (Catalog #C8017) is a resorbable implant used for soft tissue fixation in orthopedic procedures. It is made from Poly (L-Lactic Acid) to provide sturdy graft anchoring during healing. This screw gradually absorbs over time, eliminating long-term hardware in the body.
The BioScrew C8017 is intended for use in ligament reconstructions (e.g., ACL, PCL) for soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Its biocompatible and bioresorbable polymer minimizes interference with imaging and future procedures. Over the months, the screw degrades and is replaced by natural bone, reducing long-term complications associated with permanent implants. This model complements a family of BioScrew sizes, giving surgeons flexibility in matching graft dimensions.
