The RFS™ Resorbable Fixation System Pin combines innovative Self-Locking SL™ technology — instant and delayed — with its patented grooved surface design to provide enhanced rotational stability, the flexibility to accommodate variable drill hole sizes, and channels for potential vascularization.
Each RFS™ Pin is constructed of oriented bioresorbable L-lactic/co-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA 85L/15G) and is provided in a secure, "no-touch" aseptic Pin Holder.
The copolymer degrades in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the body.
The RFS™ Pin is designed to maintain its functional structure for at least 8 weeks and to completely resorb within approximately 2 years.
RFS™ Pins are implanted with a simple and efficient DPA (Disposable Pin Applicator) kit containing a scored Guidewire, an Applicator Piston, and an Applicator Sleeve.
