Since the material is synthetic, no risk of disease transmission or collagen reactions is involved in its use.

Artelon® benefits:

• Minimal risk of inflammatory reactions
  
• No foreign body reactions

In ligament and tendon repair, this organization of tissue is especially important. Read more »
