PROCEDURES, INDICATIONS AND THERAPIES

Full-thickness rotator cuff tears

When a quarter of full-thickness rotator cuff repairs result in re-tear, augment repairs with the REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant to help more repairs stay repaired.*1

Reduce your likelihood of re-tears

The REGENETEN Implant is a bioinductive scaffold made from highly purified type I collagen fibers.2 Following fixation using its efficient** and suture-free technique,1 the REGENETEN Implant is resorbed and replaced by a new layer of tendon-like tissue within 6 months3-6 increasing tendon thickness7-9 and creating an environment conducive to healing.3,8,9

A decade of clinical experience has demonstrated a meaningful impact on full-thickness repair outcomes.7,10

Key features

Clinical studies have demonstrated the value of the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant as an augment to repair:


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 growth1,3,5,6 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 months1,3,5,6,8,9 creating an environment conducive to tendon healing.3,8,9
