Therapeutic indications:

The MAGNEZIX Pin is manufactured from the magnesium-based alloy MAGNEZIX (MgYREZr), which has metallic properties, gradually degrades within the body and is replaced by endogenous tissue. The MAGNEZIX Pin is a bioabsorbable bone pin that is used to restore the bone continuity of bone fragments that are subjected to low loads and dimensionally stable after fractures, for the treatment of bony avulsion fractures, re- fixation of bone fragments and osteochondral fragments. Specifically, the MAGNEZIX Pin is intended to achieve anatomical retention of bone sections that have been joined together by surgical splinting following prior reduction until the bone has healed. The implant is designed for single use.
