PROCEDURES, INDICATIONS AND THERAPIES

Partial-thickness tears

Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears can have a lasting impact on patient pain and shoulder function. The REGENETEN^◊ Bioinductive Implant is shown to lead to tendon healing without the need for sutured repair;^1,2 offering patients a faster recovery than traditional treatments.³

Step 1: REGENETEN Implant insertion

Attach the REGENETEN Implant over the bursal side of the rotator cuff using the tendon and bone anchors provided; allowing it to serve as a scaffold for new tendon-like tissue growth ^2-4,14 and increasing tendon thickness.^1-4,8-11

Step 2: How the REGENETEN Implant works

By supporting the body's healing response,^1,2,8-10 the REGENETEN Implant is replaced by an average 2mm of new tendon-like tissue within 6 months^2-4,8,9,14 creating an environment conducive to tendon healing.^3,9,12
