Inion Hexalon™ Bioabsorbable Interference Screw
Inion Hexalon™ is the first coloured interference screw that allows clear visibility during arthroscopic insertion. In addition to traditional single-bundle procedures, Inion Hexalon™ screws can also be used for the fixation of soft tissue tendon grafts in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Inion Hexalon™ is a CE-marked medical device (Class III), manufactured by Inion Oy. The conformity assessment was conducted by BSI The Netherlands (CE 2797).
