ActivaScrew™ -Absorbable Screw
ActivaScrew is an absorbable surgical implant for fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, bone grafts and osteochondral fractures of upper and lower extremities in the presence of appropriate immobilization. ActivaScrew material is replaced by bone in approximately two years and eliminates the need for removal surgery.
Individual sterile-packaged and easy insertion with removable metallic insertion adapter.
Auto-Compression™ technology for additional compression.
Excellent also in pediatric orthopedics.
Strong track record of safe use.

ActivaScrew™ -Absorbable Screw
ActivaScrew is an absorbable surgical implant for fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, bone grafts and osteochondral fractures of upper extremity, ankle and foot in the presence of appropriate immobilization. ActivaScrew material is replaced by bone in approximately two years and eliminates the need for removal surgery.

For fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, bone grafts and osteochondral fractures of upper and lower extremities in the presence of appropriate immobilization.
ActivaScrew is an implant with high-strength and stiffness created by the biodegradable material and the manufacturing patented technology. The bending modulus of the material is close to the value of cortical bone which decreases stress shielding in bone.
ActivaScrew implant provides higher strength and stiffness created by the tailored material and the proprietary manufacturing technique. The material’s bending modulus is closer to the value of cortical bone, which eliminates stress shielding in bone.

Patient Benefits
Patented Auto-Compression™ technology
ActivaScrew’s patented Auto-Compression™ technology reduces the risk of unstable fixation. This technology tightens the fracture line and it provides additional support to proper ossification.
Absorbs within approximately 2 years
ActivaScrew degrades slowly in the span of approximately two years slowly transferring the stress back to the bone and in doing so accelerating rehabilitation.
Faster healing
ActivaScrew fully absorbs in the human body eliminating the need for implant removal operation while reducing patient stress and discomfort and by accelerating the healing process.
