While most augmentation products have been designed as “overlays” to reinforce the tendon, EnFix RC changes the paradigm by enhancing healing at the enthesis where failure often occurs.
The EnFix RC rotator cuff implant is made from proprietary demineralized cortical bone fibers. Using Bone Textile technology to produce the implant yields long and strong bone fibers that promote cell wicking, cell adhesion and cell proliferation, while our FormLok technology imparts shape retention to the device, even when immersed in liquid, as is regularly required for use in arthroscopic surgery.
John Bojanowski, Tetrous’ Head of Sales and Marketing, said, “EnFix RC specifically promotes the remodeling of tissue approximating that of the natural tendon-bone interface, known as the enthesis. The enthesis is where failures often occur in sports medicine repairs such as Rotator Cuff, ACL and Achilles. Tendon reattachment to the bone is a crucial clinical need, especially in larger tears, since failure rates increase linearly with tear size.”
Tetrous CEO, Bradley Patt, Ph.D. added, “Our technology has a long clinical legacy in orthopaedics and has been extensively studied in tendon and bone healing, demonstrating both osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. The demineralized bone fibers in EnFix RC promote optimal biologic performance while easily integrating into current surgical techniques. It is all about the enthesis.”
