Bioabsorbable textile for joint function restoration
A bioabsorbable textile for the restoration of the joint function, in particular rotator cuff tendon repair, has been developed by Anika Therapeutics of Bedford, Massachusetts, USA.
The device could be used to treat joints affected by partial-thickness tears, small-to-medium full-thickness tears, large-to-massive full-thickness tears, and acute and chronic/degenerative tears, with the goal of minimising re-tear rates and restoring tissue function for patients suffering with joint pain and lack of joint function restoration in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, fingers, toes, wrist, elbow and vertebrae.
