A comprehensive win in knee repair

Your definitive partner for meniscus, ligament and cartilage repair 

There’s no room for compromise or resting on convention when surgeons have their sights set on improvements. Whether it’s having an all-suture answer to all meniscal tears (capsular and non-capsular), reimagining reconstruction of knee ligaments, or understanding why evidence keeps pointing to a more effective cartilage repair approach7,15 (vs the current standard), there’s no need to accept current limitations.  
Check out the key technology highlights to make the most of your event.

Disclaimers

*Improved biomechanical strength and stability compared to traditional repairs and knotted/knotless transosseous equivalent (TOE) repairs, as demonstrated in biomechanical testing was in human cadavers. Fewer procedural steps and portal entries compared to knotted TOE. 
**Versus fixed angle HipVac and FLOW 50 wands.
***Isolated use vs standard repair. Standard repair = takedown and repair. Rehabilitation protocols differed between treatment groups: isolated REGENETEN Implant use employed a faster post-op rehab protocol vs traditional repair.
****As compared to competitive devices in fixation/pull-out benchtop testing.
*****Versus our predicate devices.
