RSB Calcaneo Stop

Flat foot has always been a widespread issue, but RSB Calcaneo Stop is the next-generation solution. A resorbable, highly functional solid implant, RSB Calcaneo Stop is a polymeric foot screw that matches traditional efficacy with modern benefits.

Made of PL(L)A, this device has a biological composition that allows for its entire resorption inside the patient’s body. Consequently, the patient can correct flat foot without a second surgery to remove the implant, unlike with titanium and stainless steel screws.

Resorbable composition avoids implant-removal surgery

Polymeric nature avoids metal ion release into the body

Radiolucent structure enables clear intra-op and post-op monitoring

Square coupling with the screwdriver guarantees safer torque transmission

Product highlights

ASTM F1925 standards conform PLLA: resorbable, resistant, and bio-compatible

Solid screw head Ø 7mm L. 18mm Cannulated screw Ø 9mm L. 18mm and 23mm
