The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant is a postage-stamp-sized collagen scaffold inserted arthroscopically to treat rotator cuff tears by stimulating the body to grow new, thick, tendon-like tissue. It reduces re-tear rates, promotes faster recovery, and is completely absorbed within 6 months. It is used for both partial and full-thickness tears.
Key Benefits and Details
- Healing Mechanism: The implant acts as a scaffold that induces new tissue growth, augmenting the existing tendon.
- Reduction in Re-tears: Studies indicate a significant reduction in re-tear risk compared to traditional repairs, with one trial showing a 65% reduction
- Recovery: Patients often experience a faster, less painful recovery with a shorter time in a sling.
- Procedure: A minimally invasive, 15-minute, suture-free fixation process.
- Material: Made from highly purified, resorbable bovine collagen.
Potential Side Effects and Considerations While generally considered safe, as a collagen-based, foreign-material implant, potential risks may include:
- Allergic Reaction: Although rare, some patients may have a sensitivity to bovine (cow) collagen.
- Inflammation/Infection: Standard risks associated with any surgical procedure.
- Implant Failure: Although designed to reduce this, re-tears can still occur.
The REGENETEN implant has been used in over 150,000 patients globally.
