One Material, Multiple Implant Options
DePuy Synthes Mitek Sports Medicine offers a BIOCRYL RAPIDE™ Family of Implants consisting of suture anchors and interference screws.

BioComposite 70% PLGA/30% β-TCP
Resorbable Co-Polymer of Poly-L-Lactic Acid and Poly-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) plus β-TriCalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) displayed faster absorption than L-PLA in vitro.1
Resorbable & May Promote Bony Ingrowth2,3
In long-term human imaging studies, BIOCRYL RAPIDE™ biocomposite material (Poly-lactide co-glycolide/beta-TCP) has been shown to absorb and promote bone formation within the implant profile.2
Pure Medical Grade β-TCP
β-TCP without added fillers.

Micro Particle Dispersion Technology (MPD)
MPD is a proprietary manufacturing process that ensures a homogenous blend of β-TCP and PLGA particles. Dispersion of the composite particles is critical to the material properties.1
Radiopaque
β-TCP enables the implant to be visible on x-ray.
