Interference Screws made from PEEK CF and Titanium
Anika’s sports medicine portfolio is designed for efficiency and ease of use to help optimize patient outcomes. Our interference screws are ideal for patients requiring cruciate ligament repair. Anika’s PEEK CF interference screws are made from carbon fiber–reinforced PEEK-OPTIMA. Both PEEK CF and titanium interference screws are recommended for ligament and tendon fixation in both soft tissue and bone–ligament–bone applications.
