- Blunt buttress profile dual start threads for maximum pullout strength, minimum graft amputation and quick insertion.
- Antislip hexalobular socket for positive driver engagement and strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the self-starting thread design?
The self-starting thread design of LigaZip B facilitates easy screw insertion without requiring a separate tapping step. This can simplify graft fixation and support efficient implantation during ligament reconstruction procedures.
Is LigaZip B suitable for minimally invasive ACL surgery?
Yes. LigaZip B is designed for graft fixation in ligament reconstruction procedures, including ACL reconstruction. Its self-starting thread and interference-screw design facilitate graft fixation through minimally invasive surgical approaches when clinically appropriate.
How is LigaZip B different from LigaZip P and LigaZip T?
The primary difference is their implant material. LigaZip B is a bioabsorbable interference screw, while LigaZip P is made from PEEK and LigaZip T from titanium. LigaZip B provides an alternative designed to gradually resorb over time, whereas PEEK and titanium provide non-bioresorbable fixation options
What are the main advantages of LigaZip B?
LigaZip B combines a self-starting tip and thread design with a bioabsorbable material, providing secure graft fixation while offering an alternative to permanent metallic implants. Its design is intended to facilitate efficient insertion and reliable interference fixation during ligament reconstruction procedures.
