Gracilis

The gracilis is sterilized—without the use of irradiation—through the BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process. The gracilis should not be used alone in ACL/PCL repair and is usually paired with the semitendinosis. The gracilis has also been used alone in shoulder, elbow, wrist and ankle surgeries.

  • Sterilized without the use of irradiation through the BioCleanse Process
  • Allows for multiple fixation techniques
  • Minimizes operating time and simplifies surgical technique as compared to autograft
  • Eliminates donor site morbidity and resultant cosmetic scarring
  • Can be used in single- or double-bundle tendon surgical techniques
