​Artelon -Foot & Ankle

Containing 33 individual articulating joints, the lower extremity is the one of the most complex systems in the human body. Artelon® is at the forefront of dynamic foot and ankle restoration that quickly restores motion and support.
​Artelon® FLEXBAND technology is extremely inert, and less reactive than common biomaterials such as titanium, polystyrene and suture.
Its high compliance also permits load sharing, which stimulates rapid tissue remodelling and scaffolds new tissue growth.

​Indications:

• Achilles Tendon
• Peroneal Brevis
• Lateral Ankle Stabilization
• Plater Plate
• Spring ligament
• Soft Tissue Reconstruction with Artelon for Multiple Foot & Ankle Applications
