LARS is a range of synthetic Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction devices, for use in a wide variety of applications from PCL and ACL reconstruction to ankle and shoulder repairs. Designed to mimic the normal anatomic ligament fibres, the intra-articular longitudinal fibres resist fatigue and allow fibroblastic ingrowth. The extra-articular woven fibres provide strength and resistance to elongation.
Clinically proven applications for LARS include:
•PCL reconstruction
•ACL repair
•PLC and lateral collateral
•Augmentation of the medial-collateral ligament
•Achilles tendon rupture
•Lateral instability of the ankle
•Acromio-clavicular joint dislocation
•Rotator cuff repair
•Elbow
•Reattachment of Abductor Mechanism in the Hip
