REGENETEN◊ Bioinductive Implant
Bioinductive collagen scaffold for tendon repair.1-3 Resorbed and replaced by new tendon-like tissue within 6 months to support tendon healing.1,2,4-8
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
