Frozen Semi-T Double Strand Tendon

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.

Supercritical CO2 Sterilisation

As with all of our fresh frozen tendons, the Semi-T Double Strand Tendon undergoes supercritical CO2 sterilisation. This is a bespoke process which is used to sterilise all of our frozen tendons and makes use of a supercritical fluid technology which cleanses and sterilise the allograft tissues.

This process balances pressure and temperature of SCCO2 and simultaneously extracts blood and lipids from the allograft while terminally sterilising the tissue in its final packaging. Once the sterilisation is complete, we ensure that any potential contamination during handling is eliminated, thus our allografts are all assigned a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.
