Redefining biological healing

The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant is a scaffold made from highly purified type I collagen fibers3. Following fixation, using its efficient* and suture-free technique9, the REGENETEN Implant is resorbed and replaced by a new layer of tendon-like tissue within 6 months1,2,5-8 increasing tendon thickness,1,2,5-8 and creating an environment conducive to healing.1,4,7

A decade of experience has demonstrated a meaningful impact on clinical outcomes.7,10 As an isolated treatment, the REGENETEN Implant has been shown to lead to accelerated recovery**6,11 and consistent tendon healing4,7 in partial-thickness tears. As an augment to repair in full-thickness tears, the REGENETEN Implant has been shown to lead to a reduction in postoperative re-tear rates.***9

*Finite element analysis indicated that the addition of 2 mm of tendinous tissue on the bursal side of a supraspinatus tendon with an articular-sided tear reduced the peak strain at the site of the tear by 40%.

**On human biopsy (n=1) and in-vivo sampling.

***Patients with partial thickness tears; 3 to 12 months n=46, 2 year n=13, 5 years n=11.

****Demonstrated in a study of patients with partial-thickness tears.

*****Demonstrated in patients with partial and full-thickness tears, compared to pre-operative values; p≤0.015.
