Synthetic Ligament & Tendon

NOVALIG® Synthetic Ligament

It allows multiple ligament reconstructions in cats and dogs such as cruciate ligament, hip or elbow dislocation, and even shoulder or tarsal instability.

NOVATEN® Synthetic Tendon

It allows the reconstruction of Achilles, triceps, or patellar tendons in cats and dogs without external fixators.

All about our implants

 

Their synthetic ligament NOVALIG, and its variant NOVALIG-Platine, are made of medical-grade UHMWPE fibers, designed for both intra- and extra-articular reconstructions, offering biomechanical strength often superior to native ligaments, high abrasion resistance, and tissue-friendly porosity for cellular colonization.

NOVATEN serves a similar role for tendon repair (e.g. Achilles, triceps or patellar tendons), enabling reconstruction or reinforcement without the need for external fixators, which supports a faster and less invasive recovery process.

Different fixation systems

For fixation, Novetech offers a comprehensive system, using interference screws, cortical buttons, sutures, or the Novafix system, to securely anchor the synthetic ligaments or tendons to bone, with immediate mechanical stability and minimal soft-tissue irritation.

Thanks to this integrated approach (synthetic implants + robust fixation systems), Novetech Surgery enables reliable reconstruction of various ligaments or tendons in small animals, combining biomechanical performance, surgical reproducibility, and favorable postoperative recovery.

Interference Screw

The standard fixation system for the bone reinsertion of our synthetic ligaments and tendons.

FIBER TECH Suture

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture, which gives it high strength for soft tissue reinsertion.

Titanium Cortical Button

Our range of cortical buttons offers an alternative fixation option for our synthetic ligaments and tendons, as well as our orthopedic sutures.
They can either be used alone or together with an interference screw.
