The AAOS guideline-backed REGENETEN◊ Implant

As our leading REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant continues to excel in clinical evidence and tendon healing, stop by our booth for the latest milestone RCT results and analyses. When compared to standard repairs:

+ Halved recovery times in a new RCT for partial tears**8
+ 3x reduction in re-tear rates at 2 years in full-thickness tear repair9
+ Shown to deliver long-term cost-effectiveness in a 10-year simulated economic analysis of full-thickness tear repairs in the US10

Find out why it should be an essential part of your treatment strategy.

Disclaimers

*Improved biomechanical strength and stability compared to traditional repairs and knotted/knotless transosseous equivalent (TOE) repairs, as demonstrated in biomechanical testing in human cadavers. Fewer procedural steps and portal entries compared to knotted TOE. 
**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.
****Based on a survey of surgeons; n=7.
