Nice Shoulder Course 2024 
Redefining shoulder repair
06 June 2023 Nice (France)
Nice Shoulder Course organized under the guidance of Prof Pascal Boileau is world wide recognized as one of the most important appointments for shoulder surgeons around the globe.
Smith & Nephew is glad to support this event as Platinum sponsor and to promote our most advanced technologies which redefine shoulder repair : OSTEOCONNECT Techniques, ADVANCED HEALING PORTFOLIO which include REGENETEN, HEALICOIL Family of anchors and REGENESORB.
During the congress Smith & Nephew will showcase our latest technologies at the booth, during 2 workshops, 1 Live Surgery and 3 Relive surgeries which are focused on OSTEOCONNECT techniques (Open and Arthroscopic) and on the ADVANCED HEALING portfolio.
Redefining Biological Healing in Rotator Cuff
Changing the course of rotator cuff progression
The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant supports the body’s natural healing response to promote new tendon-like tissue growth and change the course of tear progression.1, 2, 9–11 Derived from highly purified bovine Achilles tendon, it creates an environment that is conducive to healing.1, 2, 9, 27
Open-architecture, now open to even greater possibilities
The unique open-architecture design of HEALICOIL anchors reduces the amount of implanted material in the shoulder compared to traditional, solid-core anchors.28
No other biocomposite can do this, a unique formulation of proven materials
Effective absorption and bone replacement in 24 months.6–8* REGENESORB material is designed to provide a jump start in bone healing and formation.
Redefining Peak Performance
Elevate your expertise for shoulder instability repairs. With solutions ranging from simple to complex, Smith+Nephew’s Instability Excellence portfolio is setting new standards to take you to the next level while returning your patients to peak performance.
No matter the repair, the procedure or the pathology, Smith+Nephew’s Instability Excellence portfolio has you covered.
Regardless of the complexity, you’ll find solutions around the entirety of the glenoid including; soft tissue repairs and complex instability repairs. Explore our portfolio below.
