Synthetic ligaments and tendons for veterinary use
Z-lig and its free fibers
STIF – Pet Care offers veterinarians implants with a unique technology based on the integration of free fibers.
Placed in the joint, they are adapted to the biomechanical constraints of the stifle (tension, flexion and torsion) and give the implant optimum fatigue resistance, without deformation or particle deposition, and lasting over time.
The Z-lig has been studied mechanically (+ 12 million cycles) and clinically over 7 years, and is currently the most suitable for intra-articular reconstruction.
Unequalled resistance to mechanical stress
This component is essential to guarantee the implant’s durability over time.
A biocompatible implant and much more
The free fibers allow fibroblastic colonization of the implant and the creation of neo-collagen: the original ligament regenerates.

A minimally invasive surgery
The surgical procedure proposed by STIF – Pet Care is minimally invasive.
It restores stability to the stifle, enabling rapid recovery and an easy, pain-free post-operative period for the animal, with few constraints for the owner and veterinarian.
The technique can also be performed arthroscopically.

Fast, lasting recovery for the animal.
My vet suggested a new technique for reconstructing the cruciate ligament, and I was won over by the concept and the advantages it offered.
Rex is very playful and dynamic. After rupturing the cruciate ligament on his right paw in 2016, my vet suggested a technique that is still experimental, known as “minimally invasive” and low-risk, suitable for active dogs, as it enables rapid recovery.

Among the options proposed by my veterinarian, I opted for a reconstruction of his
ligament, which seemed more logical and natural to me than other options.
Phoebus underwent cranial cruciate ligament surgery on his left leg in 2021 at the age of 2.

Enzo is very active, I’d even say hyperactive! After his cruciate ligament was diagnosed as ruptured
cruciate ligament, the option of reconstruction with a synthetic ligament was immediately
given his young age and energy.
Saïga already had a TPLO on his left paw two years ago, and I’m satisfied with it, but his convalescence period was rather long and I sometimes felt tired, especially when walking in the forest for more than 3 hours.
