Activa Technology: Reliable Partner for the Fracture Management
Activa implants are specifically designed for stabilizing bone fractures and repairing soft tissue injuries when appropriate immobilization is applied. With a track record spanning over 20 years in clinical settings, these implants have been trusted for hundreds of thousands of both adult and pediatric patients due to their demonstrated safety and effectiveness.
Absorbable self-reinforced biopolymer
Poly L-lactide-co-glycolide copolymer, PLGA85/15
Activa implants are made from poly L-lactide-co-glycolide copolymer (PLGA). The monomers of PLGA are L-lactic acid and glycolic acid, also part of the normal chemistry of mammalian cells, and are metabolized into carbon dioxide and water by human cells, which are then exhaled and excreted (citric acid cycle).
Material Composition
Made from poly L-lactide-co-glycolide copolymer (PLGA85/15), a self-reinforcing biopolymer known for its strength, amorphous structure and biocompatibility
Degradation Timeline
Designed to gradually absorb into the body within approximately two years, aligning with the natural healing process and eliminating the need for removal surgery
Key properties
High mechanical strength and controlled resorption rate to provide stable support during critical healing phases. Biocompatible, reducing risks of immune reaction or adverse effects
Unique Functionalities
The non-metal composition avoids interference with radiological imaging techniques (X-ray, CT, MRI), ensuring clear intra- and postoperative imaging
Indications
Activa implants are intended to be used in versatile indications covering fracture fixations (osteosynthesis), fusions (arthrodesis) and correction malalignments (osteotomies) for adults and children.
For professionals
Activa implants have earned the trust of professionals worldwide as a proven, safe alternative to traditional implants.
