Bioabsorbable orthopaedic bone screws are small, threaded implants designed to stabilize bone fractures or secure soft tissue during orthopaedic surgery. Made from materials that gradually dissolve in the body, they provide temporary fixation while the bone heals, eliminating the need for later removal.
These screws are typically classified as surgical implants and regulated under medical device laws, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied sterile and intended for single-use, though some may be reusable depending on material and design. Always check local regulations for classification and usage guidelines.
