Orthopedic tissue matrix Cartilago®

hyaluronic acidabsorbable

Cartilago® CARTILAGE MATRIX Purpose of Use CARTILAGO biomaterial consist of HA HA provides Ca++ rich, chondrocytecompatible and permeable structure for tissue regeneration similar to the embryogenic enviroment Biomaterials made using CARTILAGO MATRIX mimics embryogenic environment with its high hyaluronic composition and stimulates transformation of mesenchymal cells into cartilage. Rather than wound healing, it triggers wound regeneration and provides a mold that is closest to the original hyalin cartilage tissue. Microfracturing is a preferred method for treatment of small chondral lesions. It stimulates bone marrow cells to form chondral structures. However, main problem with the technique is to ensure that the cells remain in the desired area after activation. CARTILAGO MATRIX provides an adhesive area for targeted cells CARTILAGO MATRIX – the HA based mold – provides an adhesion points for mesenchymal stem cells and promotes optimal proliferation and survival duration CARTILAGO MATRIX is a hyaluronic acid source which provides favorable environment for transformation of mesenchymal cells into cartilage tissue CARTILAGO MATRIX USAGE combination with microfracturing Microfracturing is a preferred method for treatment of small chondral lesions. It stimulates bone marrow cells to form chondral structures. However, main problem with the technique is to ensure that the cells remain in the desired area after activation. CARTILAGO MATRIX provides an adhesive area for targeted cells. When needed CARTILAGO MATRIX may be fixed to the tissue using fibrin glue, sutures or small surgical pins HA-based polymer mold for cartilage and bone repair in one step
