Training courses dedicated to the treatment of ligament and tendon injuries in animals


Our training courses are the best way to enhance your knowledge and skills in orthopedic surgery for ligament injuries. They are given by veterinarians experienced in the technique of cranial cruciate ligament reconstruction, and provide an opportunity to understand the history of the Z-lig and the evolution of its development, but above all to practice […]
AFVAC Congrès 2023


STIF – Pet Care will be making its first appearance at the AFVAC Congress in Lille, from November 30 to December 2. These events are an integral part of our business; we want to be able to exchange ideas and be as close to veterinarians as possible, whenever the opportunity arises. You’ll be able to […]
The Z-lig, a unique implant


Le Z-lig est un ligament synthétique très spécifique, notamment par: 1 – Ses propriétés mécaniques : L’architecture des “fibres libres” est la plus adaptée aux contraintes mécaniques qui existent dans le grasset. En effet, elles ont une résistance à la très largement supérieure à toutes les autres structures synthétiques existantes. Après des mouvements combinés de […]
Histological study


The fatigue resistance of our implants is the most advanced to date, thanks to the use of free fibers, particularly on the Z-lig, which still retains 90% of its initial strength after 12 million cycles. In fact, loose fibers are designed to resist bending, tension and, above all, torsion. But that’s not all: the highly […]
ESVOT Congrès 2023


STIF – Pet Care was present at the ESVOT congress held in Venice last October. The Z-lig and other implant ranges were very well received, and our presence led to constructive exchanges with veterinary surgeons. A prospective study was published at the congress, on the post-operative results of 107 ligament reconstructions with a 1-7 year […]
Mechanical properties


La R&D pour mettre au point du R&D to develop Z-lig tel began in 2010. We carried out a series of mechanical tests to determine which fibers would be best suited to animals: smaller fibers than those found in humans, due to the size of the bone tunnels that can be made in animals, and […]
