Smith+Nephew unveils expanded Sports Medicine portfolio to enable biological healing at AAOS 2024 Annual Meeting - Seite 2

A recently completed randomized controlled trial published in December 2023, concluded that at one-year, re-tear rates for medium and large full-thickness rotator cuff tears repaired and augmented with the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant were reduced by 68%.³

REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant for Rotator Cuff Repair

The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant is similarly redefining healing potential for Achilles injuries when used to augment insertional or midsubstance Achilles repair. The implant creates an environment that is conducive to healing and induces tendon-like tissue growth.^†,‡,5  When coupling the unique properties of the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant with Smith+Nephew’s new procedural offerings for Achilles injuries, the solution is unmatched within the Foot and Ankle segment.

REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant for Achilles Tendon Repair

“As a leader in Sports Medicine, we are committed to bringing emerging technologies that address unmet clinical needs to our customers and their patients,” said Scott Schaffner, President Sports Medicine, Smith+Nephew. “Both REGENETEN and CARTIHEAL AGILI-C implants have the opportunity to set new benchmarks for standard of care across multiple joint repair indications and deliver better patient outcomes.”

To learn more about Smith+Nephew’s offerings that enable biological healing including the CARTIHEAL AGILI-C Cartilage Repair Implant and the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant, please visit the Smith+Nephew booth (#5469) at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2024 Annual Meeting from February 12-16 in San Francisco, CA.
