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.

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 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.

Minimally Invasive Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF) Treatment
With over 20 years of commitment to procedural options and clinical evidence, Medtronic's balloon kyphoplasty empowers you to treat VCF patients with the unmatched innovations of a reliable, robust product platform. Treating VCF with Balloon Kyphoplasty Balloon kyphoplasty uses orthopedic balloons to restore vertebral height and correct angular deformity from VCF due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions. After reduction, the balloons are deflated and removed. The resulting cavity allows for a controlled deposition of bone cement to form an internal cast and stabilize the fracture. Key Features of the Kyphon™ Balloon Kyphoplasty Platform- 700 psi max rated inflation pressure, higher than previous 400 psi rated balloons.*
- Cement resistance technique lets you deliver cement through one cannula while the contralateral balloon remains inflated to maintain fracture reduction.
- Kyphon™ cement delivery system (CDS) lets you deliver cement from up to 48 inches away from the radiation source during a kyphoplasty procedure.

The MediExpand is a one or multi-segmental corpectomy device designed to reconstruct the cervical spine. The implant has an adjustable size increase system which can be adapted to suit the anatomical condition of the patient. Its innovative design reduces the risk of sinking adjacent vertebral bodies and secures anchoring in the adjoining endplates. Featuring an open design the mediExpand offers excellent visibility of the dura during insertion and provides direct access areas for freshening unaffected endplate areas. The large surface area is ideal for bony fusion and offers optimal space for filling up with spongiosa, whilst following the 'guide-rail' principle. The anatomical design provides the reconstruction of the lordotic profile with simple repositioning of the implant by reversing the distraction and allows for individual treatment due to the ability to choose exact height settings.

For painful bone tumours
The OsteoCoolTM RF Ablation System is cooled radiofrequency (RF) ablation technology. It offers simultaneous, dual-probe capabilities for treating painful bone tumours. Product DetailsThe OsteoCool RF Ablation system is cooled radiofrequency (RF) ablation technology. It offers simultaneous, dual-probe capabilities for treating painful bone tumours.
Coaxial, bipolar technology delivers RF energy to the site, and automatically moderates power to keep RF heating within the desired treatment range. This reduces risk of potential thermal damage to adjacent tissue.1
The active tip of the ablation probe is internally cooled with circulating water. RF energy heats the tissue while circulating water moderates the temperature close to the active tip. This combination:
- Creates large volume lesions without excessive heating at the active tip
- Minimises potential for char
The OsteoCool RF ablation probes are sterile and intended for single use.

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.

Orthoblast II is a powerful choice of bone grafting and it is what is termed a “complete” bone graft, offering both conductivity and inductivity to the user Surgeon. It is available as a Putty in a tub where the conductive bone graft granules mixed in with the DBM Putty are larger given the method of delivery. This is a crunchy graft when handled by the Surgeon. The other method of delivery with this product is via a syringe, where the conductive granules are slightly smaller simply because they need to go through the tip of the syringe. This is no less a complete bone graft however, it is simply another method of delivery for the Surgeon, and contains demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to stimulate and regenerate new bone growth. It is a highly inductive material supplied in syringe form (smaller particulate bone granules) and in tub form (larger particulate bone granules). OrthoBlast® II therefore, combines demineralized allograft bone with cancellous bone in a reverse phase medium (RPM) carrier, to provide an osteoconductive & Inductive allograft with ideal handling qualities. OrthoBlast II has enjoyed clinical success in a variety of surgical applications including periarticular defects and long-bone defects. An independent study of two DBM allografts, in cases of metaphyseal and periarticular fractures, concluded that the OrthoBlast II success rate was over 30% higher than the alternative allograft product. In another independent study of the use of DBM allograft products in ankle/hindfoot fusion, 14% of patients with a glycerol based allograft developed a non-union, versus only 8% for the OrthoBlast patients. We offer a 24 hour delivery service for this product.
