ARTIMPLANT Artelon Implants

SKU# ARTELON (call for current pricing)

Artelon® Tissue Reinforcement is a patch which is sutured over ruptured tissue as reinforcement when repairing a torn tendon. The degradable Artelon® implant maintains its strength and elasticity over several years providing long term support of the soft tissue while being a scaffold for tissue in growth and remodeling.

Most patches available on the market are made from human or animal tissue. These patches have good initial strength but several of them degrade within a few months. Due to the relatively fast degradation they may not provide sufficient reinforcement during the healing process.

Other devices, that degrade slowly, have been associated with the presence of foreign-body giant cells, chronic inflammation, and/or the accumulation of dense poorly organized fibrous tissue. Artelon® Tissue Reinforcement demonstrates unsurpassed implant biocompatibility with minimal risk of tissue reactions and encapsulation.

Artelon® was developed specifically for medical applications and has clinical documentation with long follow-up periods.  Thousands of patients worldwide have been successfully treated with Artelon® implants.

• Serves as a temporary scaffold for the body’s own cells while it degrades and integrates with the body over a six year period
• Stabilizes and relieves load during the healing period – long term support for healing tissue
• Excellent biocompatibility
• Synthetic; eliminates risk of disease transmission or collagen reactions
