Conmed BioScrew Bioabsorbable Interference Screws 8mm x 25mm C8018
The BioScrew Bioabsorbable Interference Screw 8 mm x 25 mm (Catalog #C8018) is a resorbable implant used for soft-tissue to bone fixation in orthopedic procedures. It is manufactured by ConMed from Poly (L-Lactic Acid), providing initial strength and graft stability. The screw gradually degrades over time, reducing the need for a removal surgery.
The BioScrew C8018 is typically used in ligament reconstructive surgeries, especially ACL and PCL procedures, for securely anchoring grafts into bone tunnels. Its polymer composition supports graft fixation during early healing and then slowly resorbs, allowing bone remodeling in its place. Because it is bioabsorbable, the screw does not interfere with imaging (MRI/CT) and minimizes long-term hardware complications. Surgeons benefit from a range of sizes like this 8×25 mm option to match graft and tunnel dimensions precisely.
