REGENETEN◊
Bioinductive Implant
Bioinductive collagen scaffold for tendon repair. Resorbed and replaced by new tendon-like tissue within 6 months to support tendon healing.
Redefining biological healing
The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant is a scaffold made from highly purified type I collagen fibers. Following fixation, using its efficient* and suture-free technique, the REGENETEN Implant is resorbed and replaced by a new layer of tendon-like tissue within 6 months increasing tendon thickness, and creating an environment conducive to healing.
A decade of experience has demonstrated a meaningful impact on clinical outcomes. As an isolated treatment, the REGENETEN Implant has been shown to lead to accelerated recovery and consistent tendon healing 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.
Key features
The REGENETEN Implant has been used in rotator cuff tears for more than ten years with clinical studies demonstrating:
New tendon-like tissue
Resorbed and replaced by approximately 2mm new tendon-like tissue within 6 months.
Reduced re-tear rates
3x reduction in re-tear risk in a randomized controlled trial versus standard repair alone in medium-to-large full-thickness tears.
Accelerated recovery
Accelerated recovery and return to activity when used as an isolated treatment (compared with takedown and suture anchor repair), whilst leading to consistent tendon healing for partial-thickness tears.
Efficient, suture-free fixation
Proprietary delivery and fixation system results in a 15-minute procedure.
How the REGENETEN Implant works
The REGENETEN Implant serves as a ‘scaffold’ for new tendon-like tissue growth, increasing tendon thickness.
REGENETEN is… restorative, not reparative. If you believe in biology, this is a big step.
