Developments in modern science and technology has allowed us to explore manufacturing of products with a wide variety of materials. These changes have influenced recent  developments of screw technology, such as biodegradable interference screws and dissolvable screws that are now used for medical purposes.

​

No longer does the patient need to endure the pain of major surgeries with biodegradable bone screws that are made up of 50% bone. The dissolvable nature has also empowered the conventional screw to no longer function as a holding agent, but part of the material itself. One can only imagine what other surprises the humble screw has in store for us for future developments!
