Textile Weaving Capabilities for Artificial Tendon, Ligament Applications
21.05.12
Biomedical Structures LLC (BMS) , a developer of biomedical textiles for medical devices and other advanced clinical applications, today announced its advanced new tapered medical textile solution for tendons, ligaments and other orthopedic applications. BMS ' advanced weaving capabilities provide a high-precision medical textile solution able to match human anatomical construction of tendons and replicate performance.
Complementing BMS ' current tapering and bifurcation capabilities for very fine fabrics, the new weaving techniques allow for the creation of more lifelike structures that imitate natural tendon and ligament performance better than ever before. BMS shapes bio-absorbable and permanent fibers to resemble the human anatomy of tendons by developing precise dimensions and load-bearing performance characteristics within a functional shape that mirrors natural geometries. For tendon/ligament repair applications that require sutured tissue and subsequent re-growth of natural cells to replace the damage, this textile engineering approach has the power to enable a new class of implant solutions.

i got surgery on march 14. it was arthoscopic surgery on my ankle,they had to put in artificial tendons and ligaments. now, im in this weird post surgery cast.its a splint made of plaster,wrapped with gauze,cotton,ace wrap,and topped of with a stokkingette
Well, to cool the leg put ice on your toes and on the leg above the cast. Your blood flow will carry the cooling affects down the leg to help it cool. Ice on the toes will help the swelling.
I think maybe the pain meds might be too strong if they

I have a torn ACL. What type of surgery would you suggest in my case?
Jul 31, 2007 by Lucho | Posted in Other - Health
I tore my ACL playing soccer about 6 weeks ago. I additionaly have (supposedly) meniscus and bone injuries. I have seen two doctors, and surgery is necessary if i want to play again. I would like to know, which are the pros and cons, of al the options
The best (in my opinion) is ACL replacement borrowing material from your own knee. Rehab is not easy, but if followed properly you will achieve a full recovery. If you don't have cartilage damage, the pain shouldn't be too bad.
