The present invention provides a method for producing a bone joining device having a head portion, the method comprising the step of press-molding a (primary) molded article to form a head portion, and a bone joining device having a head portion, wherein the molecular orientation in the (primary) molded article is substantially maintained.

Bone connecting device and method of manufacturing the same

The present invention provides a bone joining device used for joining, fixing and reinforcing fractured bones. The bone joining device is produced by pressing a molded product of a biodegradable and bioabsorbable resin.

Bone joining device

A suture comprising a core of at least one synthetic fiber filament yarns, and a covering layer formed of a plurality of silk strands and sheathing the core, the core and the covering layer having substantially the same elongation at break. The filament yarns have increased modulus of elasticity and increased breaking strength to thereby give the suture improved breaking strength and also have enhanced rigidity to render the suture highly amenable to the correction of its deformation and easier to handle.
