AchilloCordPLUS™ System

The AchilloCordPLUS is indicated for patients with acute ruptures of the Achilles tendon, but is particularly suited to patients where an extended period of postoperative immobilisation is undesirable.

Description

The AchilloCordPLUS is a densely woven flexible tubular structure, 5 mm in diameter and 800 mm in length. Both ends of the device are flat, allowing it to be threaded easily through the eye of a probe, which is used to pull it through soft tissue and bone tunnels.
