INDICATIONS
Bioresorbable Pin is indicated for the stabilization of metatarsal and phalangeal osteotomies during treatment of hallux valgus, in addition to appropriate immobilization (plaster cast, harness, external setting device).
PROPERTIES
Pin degradation kinetic is tailored to start at the end of the natural bone healing.
Pins are stable during 8-10 months after implantation allowing bone stabilization during healing. Then pins are hydrolyzed in situ and totally replaced by bone within a maximum of 4 years*.
