multifilament polymer

Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE AC Joint Internal Bracing System Specifications Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE AC Joint Internal Bracing System is manufactured from Medical Degree Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene material. For Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE ACJ System, very thin fibers are woven in the form of bands with a width of 5 mm to form a multifilament material. *By means of its wide cross section, it eliminates single-point stress. *Pressure on bone tissue is distributed and thus decreased thanks to the wide surface of the band. *By means of its wide surface, it is more reliable in osteoporotic bones when compared to metal cables or cerclage wires. *Each band has a load carrying capacity of over 1600 N. (4 bands=6400 N) Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE ACJ System is highly flexible, it can be manipulated easily. In Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE ACJ System thanks to the patented torque applicable Tensioner, it is ensured that the fragments are brought closer easily at the appropriate tension. It provides a simple, effective and easy-to-use surgery with only 3 instruments. In Ortholox®Gh UHMWPE ACJ System, a bendable titanium guide strip and a patented locking block that is manufactured from highly biocompatible (TI-6AL-4V-ELI) alloy is used. *It is MRI compatible. *It has a high load carrying capacity. *Once the locking block is screwed and fixed, it does not loosen or unlock by itself. *During the procedure, in order to re-apply tension, loosening the screw of the locking block is enough. Thus, OR time is shortened. *Since osteotomy or bone screw is not required during surgery, it allows for minimal invasive application with its simple and fast instrumentation.
