Activa Nail

ActivaNail is an advanced absorbable nail implant used in fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and osteochondral fractures in the presence of appropriate immobilization. ActivaNail material is replaced by bone in approximately two years and eliminates the need for removal surgery. It is also used in cartilage repairs that involve osteochondral fragments/loose bodies.
