The most effective solution for ACJ reconstructions

The LockDown™ device is a polyester surgical mesh device designed to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as acromioclavicular separation due to coracoclavicular ligament disruption. This surgical mesh is used for acromioclavicular joint or coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.

With over 4,500 implantations realized over a 10 year period across International markets, this product offers excellent clinical results and patient satisfaction combined with a simple reproducible surgical technique. The LockDown™ device is CE marked and has gained FDA approval in February 2011.

This simple procedure requires little or no physiotherapy. The patients’s arm is supported by a sling at 2 weeks post operatively, and the most enduring activities (including contact sports) can be resumed at 12 weeks.

LockDown™ is designed and manufactured by Mandaco 569 Ltd. (trading as Surgicraft).
