Burn wound management
Burn wounds are a global public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity, including prolonged hospitalisation, disfigurement and disability – often accompanied by stigma and social rejection.1 Our aim is to help mitigate the complications associated with burn wounds.
Pressure injury prevention
Trusted to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries when used as part of a comprehensive prevention program, compared to standard care alone.1-3
Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears
Partial-thickness tears can have a lasting impact on pain and shoulder function. When used in isolated bioinductive repair, the REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant leads to tendon healing without the need for sutured repair;1-4 offering patients a faster recovery and return to activity than sutured repairs.4,5
Chondral and osteochondral knee repair
Treat knee cartilage lesions and osteochondral defects in a single-stage procedure, even in the presence of mild to moderate osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence 0-3),1,2 with the porous, biocompatible CARTIHEAL◊ AGILI-C◊ Cartilage Repair Implant; shown to be clinically superior to the current surgical standard of care in level 1 clinical data.*1,2

Sports medicine resection was very different in the mid-1990s. Tools such as electrocautery performed a task at the time, but their reliance on heat-driven methods came with notable drawbacks in the form of thermal damage, a narrow margin of error around delicate anatomy, and adverse effects on patient healing.
A breakthrough concept of passing a radiofrequency current through saline emerged, allowing engineers to generate a low-temperature plasma field capable of disassociating tissue on a molecular level using energized ions rather than thermal destruction.
The resulting ‘controlled ablation’ (or COBLATION) entered the field of sports medicine in 1996 and offered surgeons a true alternative that redefined the standards for resection.
Continuing to evolve over three decades of research and innovation, including refined wand designs, improved delivery systems and expanded indications, COBLATION Technology continues to set the gold standard for resection.
*Compared to HipVac and FLOW 50.
**Less clogging than competitor devices - n=30; as demonstrated ex vivo at maximum settings. Low risk of metal debris - as demonstrated in bench-top testing and cadaveric studies.
***In Vac mode. As demonstrated ex vivo with Ambient Super MultiVac 50, FLOW 50, FLOW 90 and FLOW FLEXTEND wands.
****Minimal damage (100-200μm) evident in untargeted cartilage tissue, as demonstrated ex vivo. Cell damage may vary depending on protocol use.
*****As demonstrated in vitro when tested at default settings; p<0.05.
