Single Strand Tendon (Aseptic)
Surgical reconstruction of smaller joints can be achieved utilizing single strand tendons. Stabilization of the ankle, and reconstruction of the MPFL, ALL or AC joint are commonly performed using the strong, yet small diameter single strand tendon.
Available single strand tendons include:
- Anterior tibialis (Diameter: 5mm-7mm (single) Length: 19cm-24cm)
- Semitendinosus (Diameter: 4mm-6.5mm (single) Length: 19cm-24cm)
- Gracilis (Diameter: 3.5mm-5mm (single) Length: 19cm-24cm)
Features and Benefits
- Tendon allografts remain an excellent repair option for any ligament repair procedure where prior reconstructions have failed or where tendon ruptures or tears are present.
- Aseptic Quadruple Strand tendons are aseptically handled throughout the process, never exposed to irradiation.
- An allograft cleanse, soak, and rinse process are used. The formula does not include harsh chemicals: 98% Sterile Water, 2% mixture of isopropyl alcohol and antibiotics.
