Innovation needs evaluation

Rotator Cuff Lesions (RCL) are primarily treated arthroscopically using suture anchor technology. However,this method is difficult to learn and highly dependent on the manual dexterity and practical experience or the individual surgeon. Inovedis has therefore developed a new implant called SINEFIX™, which aims to improve and simplify tendon fixation. It consists of a PEEK plate with two PEEK anchors and additional teeth that ensure the distance to the bone. The implant can be attached in two steps in such a way that the humerus and tendon are firmly connected to one another over a large area. SINEFIX™ also aims to maintain the vitality of the tendon, improving blood circulation and thus the biological healing process

Biomechanical testing has shown that the new implant has at least as high maximum pullout forces and gap formation as a double-row refixation (DRR) with „all-suture“ anchors during cyclic loading.

Find out more about this pre-clinical testina and the promising results.

"With its next generation implants Inovedis aims to minimize the complexity of surgical interventions and ensure satisfactory treatment results in the long term."
