Company Info
Company Description
Younger and more active patients are usually under 55 years old and need/want to return to work, sports, and other strenuous physical activities. The present scope of treatment offered by sports medicine include a variety of surgical techniques, graft procedures, cadaveric tissue and some high-end cell-based therapies. All of these treatments have significant drawbacks and complications, either with effectiveness, invasiveness or cost. The device is a permanent implant based on 3D printing and a novel nano-structured, and a synthetic polymer. The device works by replacing lost or damaged cartilage immediately, while also initiating new tissue growth and healing long term. This provides two key benefits: (1) patients are able to have shorter, less involved and more successful recoveries and (2) have an effective treatment with longer life span. Additionally the device is low cost and can be packaged and stored at room temperature, it can be purchased as a commodity and used as needed.
