Inovedis announced completion of 50 successful surgeries using its SINEFIX Rotator Cuff Repair System in the U.S. The system offers an approach to rotator cuff surgery that addresses biomechanical fixation and the role of blood flow in tendon-to-bone healing while offering a simple surgical technique for rotator cuff repair surgery. First U.S. procedures were completed in October 2024.
The SINEFIX implant was designed to offer an alternative to suture-based fixation. Rather than threads cutting through tendon as with suture anchors, SINEFIX uses a small polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) implant that effectively “staples” the tendon to bone over a broad area. In practice, the device consists of a base that sits on the tendon surface and small fixation prongs that are driven into bone, clamping the tendon down. By securing a wide swath of tendon tissue against the bone, SINEFIX eliminates the point-loading of sutures – there are no concentrated suture anchor points. The pressure is distributed evenly across the repair footprint.
Lukas Floess, CEO and co-founder of Inovedis, stated, “This pivotal accomplishment underscores Inovedis’ unwavering commitment to the orthopedic community and our dedication to improving patient outcomes through continuous advancements in soft tissue to bone repair. We are immensely motivated to expand the reach of this essential technology and make it accessible to more surgeons and patients in the U.S. and globally. Reaching 50 successful surgeries is a huge milestone for Inovedis and is just the very beginning for us.”
