RAPIDSORB™ Resorbable Fixation System

RAPIDSORB™ Resorbable Fixation System

RAPIDSORB™ is a resorbable fixation system, which is intended for fracture repair and craniofacial reconstruction.1-3 

System consists of implants: plates, meshes, foils, and screws, dedicated instruments and cases.

Due to resorbable material the implants are radiolucent4 and might be an attractive alternative to metal implants.

  2. Searching the global e-ifu.com website 
  3. Contacting your sales consultant 
  4. Reaching out to us directly. 

Material Science

Poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)

Polymer

RAPIDSORB Resorbable Fixation System implants are made from 85:15 poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide).3, 5-7

Implant stability

Implant Stability

RAPIDSORB implants retain their stability for at least 8 weeks during the critical bone healing phase.8,9 The device will then be absorbed and excreted by the body within approximately 12 months.9,10

degradation

In Vivo Degradation

In vivo degradation occurs by hydrolysis to lactic and glycolic acid, which is then metabolized into carbon dioxide and water. Both end products will be absorbed and excreted by the body.11,12
 

Features & Benefits

RAPIDSORB PLATES

Many Plate Options

Multiple plates shapes are offered in 0.5, 0.8 and 1.2 mm thicknesses.

Plates design includes features like beveled edge and straight edge design of cross-slots between the holes.

Pre-shaped plates can be contoured.

RAPIDSORB MESHES, RAPIDSORB FOILS

Meshes & Foils

Round-shaped contourable meshes might be applied without cutting or kinking.

When needed, meshes & foils can be cut into desired plate geometries.

Solid foils allow customization of hole size and location.

RAPIDSORB SCREWS

Screws

Screws are available in 3 diameters: 1.5, 2.0 & 2.5 mm.
 
2.0 mm screws can be used with 1.5 mm plates as primary or emergency screws.
 
2.5 mm screws can be used as emergency screws for 2.0 mm screws in case of breakage.

RAPIDSORB WATERBATH

Compact Water Bath

Compact Water Bath is available with custom sterile drape for thermal contouring of plates, meshes and foils.
