Partial-thickness tears can have a lasting impact on pain and shoulder function. When used in isolated bioinductive repair, the REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant leads to tendon healing without the need for sutured repair;1-4 offering patients a faster recovery and return to activity than sutured repairs.4,5
The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant is a scaffold made from highly purified type I collagen fibers.6 Following fixation using its efficient* and suture-free technique7, the REGENETEN Implant is resorbed and replaced by a new layer of tendon-like tissue within 6 months3,4,8,9 increasing tendon thickness.1-4, 8-11 and creating an environment conducive to healing.3,9,12
A decade of clinical experience has demonstrated a meaningful impact on partial-thickness repair outcomes.9,10
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
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 months2-4,8,9,14 creating an environment conducive to tendon healing.3,9,12
Post-operative rehabilitation protocols are a crucial factor in helping patients get back to their lives. In a study evaluating isolated use of the REGENETEN Implant in stable full-thickness rotator cuff tears, it was shown to help patients return to work 10 weeks faster and spend less than half the average time in a sling when compared to sutured repair.*4
Recovery is just as important as the repair for partial-thickness tears, so new randomized controlled trial (RCT) data is a strong signal for the future standard of care. The results show attention-grabbing advantages for patients treated with the REGENETEN Implant as isolated bioinductive repair (with accelerated REGENETEN Implant physical therapy protocol), compared to traditional takedown and repair.

Hear experts debate why athletes can benefit from biological augmentation in shoulder repair. Exploring non-operative intervention, the use of biological adjuncts such as the REGENETEN◊ Implant and replacing sutured repairs with biology, the panel discusses recovery and long-term outcomes for athletes who expect a swift return to activity.
Dr Jacob Calcei, Dr Christopher Klifto and Dr Steve Mora.
