AchilloCordPLUS
The AchilloCordPLUS is a densely woven flexible tubular structure, 5mm in diameter and 800 mm in length. Both ends of the device are flat thus allowing the device to be easily threaded through the eye of a probe which is used to pull it through soft tissue and bone tunnels.
Indications
The AchilloCordPLUS is intended for Acute Achilles tendon ruptures during sports where an extended period of post-operative immobilization is undesirable.
Features and benefits
- No need to immobilize the leg in a cast post-operatively, allowing for early rehabilitation
- Increased potential for retaining full range of motion
- Partial weight bearing and early mobilization of the leg in the immediate post-operative phase helps retain muscle bulk and strength
- Fast return to activities of daily living – retaining independence
- Return to work after an average of 6 weeks and return to driving after 7 weeks, reducing loss of earnings (sedentary workers can return earlier to work)
- Fast return to sport after 4 months, retaining fitness
- Made from polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) which has been used for ligament and tendon reconstruction for over 25 years
