Soft Tissue Regeneration Inc. announced that it received a patent for its L-C Ligament, a device for soft tissue regeneration of the ACL of the knee.
According to a company press release, the L-C Ligament is a bioresorbable scaffold that is designed to regenerate knee ligament tissue after ACL reconstruction. Using the degradable polymer poly-L-lactide acid to address known risks and morbidity associated with allograft and autograft tissues, the L-C Ligament reportedly requires no harvesting of the patient’s tendon, which eliminates the risks associated with the harvest site.
According to the release, the L-C Ligament is an investigational device. It is available as part of a clinical study, but is not for sale or use in the United States or the European Union.
