Bioretec Ltd., a pioneer in biodegradable orthopedic implants, is pleased to announce that a number of cases have been performed around the U.S. utilizing the RemeOs technology. The follow-up results confirmed successful implantation and fracture healing were achieved in all cases. Surgeons reported very positive feedback in that there is no change to existing surgical technique while operating with an absorbable metal implant for their patients. The added benefit of osteopromotion and bioactivity on the fracture healing site was also reported to be a factor in the surgeon’s choice to use RemeOs screws in these procedures.

“The controlled launch of the RemeOs trauma screw in the United States has progressed very much in line with our expectations. In my short tenure with Bioretec, these excellent results and surgeon feedback have given me confidence in our plans to increase our commercialization efforts in the U.S.”, says Alan Donze, CEO of Bioretec.
