The REGENESORB material is a new absorbable biocomposite material developed by Smith & Nephew, designed to improve upon currently marketed absorbable materials. This document is intended to provide an overview of the REGENESORB component materials, their history of clinical use and their activity in the body.
Healicoil Regenesorb Suture Anchors
The most open architecture design when compared to rivals designed to limit the amount of implant material. Enables improved bone in-growth six months following rotator cuff restoration when compared to non-vented, solid-core anchors. Higher pull-out strength and maybe lower repair failure could result from increased bone density near the anchor.
In addition, the results of pre-clinical testing conducted during the development of REGENESORB are presented, demonstrating that the REGENESORB material is absorbed faster than poly l-lactic acid hydroxyapatite (PLLA-HA) and is replaced by bone within 24 months.
The REGENESORB mixture produces a biocomposite material designed to remain mechanically stable for a minimum of six months before subsequently being absorbed and replaced by bone within 24 months.
