Self-retaining permanently tensionable synthetic tie

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a self-retaining permanently tensionable synthetic tie for use in surgery and orthopaedics. It comprises a tensioning nipple passed through by a tie channel in the longitudinal direction, a permanently elastic synthetic tie which can be guided through the tie channel and essentially fills the latter, and blocking devices which prevent the synthetic tie, even under tensile stress, by narrowing the tie channel, from moving counter to the direction of passing through. The synthetic tie and tensioning nipple consist of resorbable or permanently compatible material.
