The frozen Semi-T (Semitendinosus) Double Strand Tendon provides surgeons with the ability to reconstruct a torn ligament - the Semitendinosus in particular, is commonly used for ankle stabilisation. A very common occurrence for patients who have suffered a traumatic ligament tear is to experience laxity, which can heavily impede on their ability to remain active. The unique nature of using a frozen double strand tendon during reconstruction of cruciate ligaments, can help considerably with repairing and stabilising the ligament, and is why the double strand is so effective in the reconstruction of torn ligaments. There are numerous benefits of using our Frozen Semi-T Double Strand Tendons for reconstruction surgery, in particular, eliminating the need of harvesting autograft, thus removing additional pain and surgical scars, as well as providing the surgeon with the best fixation technique - to name a few. -
Although part of the hamstring, the Semitendinosus Tendon is commonly used for Ankle Stabilisation and Achilles Tendon Repair. We supply a high-quality frozen and professionally sterilised Semi-T Achilles Tendon for use in surgical operations to repair the Achilles Tendon. In particular for chronic tears of the Achilles tendon, when there is a gap of more than 5cm, it is most usually recommended that a primary tendon reconstruction via transfer of an allograft is undertaken. This is used in order to replace the missing tissue, due to the lack of healthy tissue in order to perform the repair directly. The surgical process involves drilling a tunnel into the base of the calcaneus and the harvested tendon is then fed through the tunnel and both stitched and screwed in place. -
The Anterior Tibialis is an incredibly strong tendon responsible for flexion in the foot. In regards to their use as allografts, our Frozen Anterior Tibialis Tendon is most commonly used for tendon reconstruction procedures including the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and UCL (Ulnar Collateral Ligament). Less commonly, it can also be used for ankle stabilisation, ligament repair, joint, and bicep ruptures. Recent research has found the use of freeze-dried tibialis anterior allografts achieved 'excellent to good clinical outcomes' (according to Tegner-Lysholm grading scale) when used for tibial fixation in ACL reconstruction and revision ACL surgeries. Prior to this, four-strand hamstring autograft was most commonly used for ACL reconstruction, however the research found that upon providing patients with the information surrounding additional benefits of using tibialis anterior allografts - the majority of patients chose the allograft option. Further information can be found on the published research findings here. Alongside them being preferred by patients, there are multiple benefits for Physicians using the Frozen Anterior Tibialis Tendon in ACL reconstruction, including but not limited to; Allowing the Physician to predetermine the diameter size of tunnels, predetermine graft length for the procedure and allowing for various fixation techniques. -
The CLIA Spinal Cage range is manufactured from PEEK with “tell tales”, supplied in 25mm lengths, with 4° and 8° of lordosis available, depending on Surgeon preference, and in height sizes 8mm to 14mm. These Cages are designed to allow maximum area for graft containment to help to ensure fusion. The graft containment cavity is ideally suited for use with our range of bone grafting products. The spinal cage range comes in 3 variations depending on the area of the spine:- Cervical
- PLIF
- ALIF
-
Ballast is an easy-to-deliver, inductive bone graft used for posterior spinal fusion procedures. It is designed to contour and maximise contact with the anatomy whilst still maintaining shape and volume under compression. Key features:- Delivers a large, consistent volume of graft (6-9cc per level per side)
- Withstands compressive forces of the Paraspinal Muscles and does not flatten or displace
- Maximises Osteoinductive potential with 100% DBM, within the mesh pouch, in a challenging application
- Contours around spinal hardware and anatomy
- Simple to deliver and position in the Posterolateral Gutters

Allograft bone is an ideal alternative to autograft for quick, complete bone regeneration. Cancellous chips and granules form the Osteoconductive scaffold for new bone formation while maintaining the porosity essential for tissue and vascular regrowth. Cancellous Bone packs well into any size or shape defect, for maximum surgical flexibility and is available for immediate use with no refrigeration or thawing required. Potential complications of iliac crest bone harvesting, such as morbidity, limited supply, and pain, make Cancellous bone an ideal autograft substitute which has been obtained from an AATB-Accredited Tissue Bank, ensuring the highest quality bone through rigorous donor screening, testing and sterilisation. In many cases, cancellous bone is preferable to cortical bone due to its higher surface area and open porous structure that allows for easy cellular penetration and incorporation and is a perfect compliment to IsoTis’ Accell® product line, and can be used as a bone graft extender or for composite grafting. We supply Allograft Cancellous Bone in a variety of sizes which can be purchased in chip or crushed formation - please see the tab below for further information. We use a guaranteed 24 hour delivery service for this product. -
Accell Connexus is highly inductive 2nd Generation DBM with a DBM content of close to 70%. It is sold in a syringe form and also contains the unique RPM carrier which is also an inductive material, giving it exceptional handling characteristics. Accell Connexus should be mixed with any Allograft, Autograft or a synthetic scaffold to provide the ideal recipe for fusion – of conductivity and inductivity. Accell Technology features a patented process that produces the Accell bone matrix (ABM) which is an open-structured, dispersed form of Dynamic Bone Matrix (DBM). The ABM study uses a skeletally mature sheep model with cylindrical 5mm metatarsal defect which is created in tibial diaphysis and which shows excellent results after 4 weeks. This product benefits from validated osteoinductive potential, is mouldable and easy to pack into defects making it ready to use. Case studies have shown positive results when used in:- Spine: Intertransverse process fusion
- Hand: Cystic scaphoid nonunion
- Foot & Ankle: - Tibial osteotomy - Hindfoot and ankle nonunions
