The Matryx™ Interference Screw
is the latest addition to the line of
bioabsorbable interference screws from the
company that first introduced this technology to
the market. The Matryx Interference Screw was
designed in conjunction with Linvatec
Biomaterials Limited with innovation, enhanced
biologics, and improved clinical outcomes in
mind. The Matryx Interference Screw is intended
for use as an interference fixation device for
bone patellar tendon bone (BTB) and soft tissue
grafts in ACL and PCL reconstruction. The Matryx
Interference Screw is composed of Self-Reinforced™
96L/4D PLA and beta-Tri-Calcium Phosphate. This
composition creates a porous matrix known to aid
the bone remodeling process while the Self-Reinforced™
technology adds strength to the implant. These
features, combined with the torsion and
insertion strength of the tri-lobe driver
interface, provide the surgeon with the
confidence to use this implant in the procedures
where interference fixation is desired. Offered
in a variety of sizes and compatible with
existing instrumentation, this innovative screw
represents the future of interference fixation.
