Tendon/ligament bone anchors that are bioabsorbable are surgical implants used to reattach tendons or ligaments to bone. They provide temporary fixation during healing, often in procedures like ACL reconstruction or rotator cuff repairs, and dissolve over time as the tissue integrates.
These devices are typically classified based on their materials and intended use, often requiring regulatory approval before market entry. They’re supplied sterile and single-use, designed for one-time surgical implantation, and may vary by design—such as screw-type or staple-style—for specific anatomical applications.
