Products

Step 1: Biomechanical repair

Rotator cuff repair with Advanced Healing Solutions starts with a unique biomechanical construct using open-architecture HEALICOIL^◊ Suture Anchors, which may support the body’s natural healing response.¹¹ Available with REGENESORB^◊ Material, which is absorbed and effectively replaced by bone within 24 months.¹²

Step 2: REGENETEN insertion

Apply the REGENETEN Implant over the biomechanical repair using the tendon and bone anchors provided; allowing the REGENETEN Implant to serve as a scaffold for new tendon-like tissue growth^1,3,5,6 and increased tendon thickness.^7-9

Step 3: How the REGENETEN Implant works

By supporting the body's healing response,^3,4,8,9 the REGENETEN Implant is replaced by an average 2mm of new tendon-like tissue within 6 months^1,3,5,6,8,9 creating an environment conducive to tendon healing.^3,8,9
