Smith & Nephew receives CE mark for bioinductive implant
Smith & Nephew has received CE mark certification for its Regeneten Bioinductive Implant for rotator cuff repairs, according to a company press release.
The collagen-based implant helps to facilitate tendon-like tissue growth and disrupt disease progression after rotator cuff procedures. Delivered arthroscopically to the rotator cuff tendon, the implant is the size of a postage stamp and resorbs within 6 months, according to the release.
“We are delighted to gain CE mark for Regeneten and be able to offer up this ground-breaking technology to our customers in Europe,” Terry Byca, Smith & Nephew senior director marketing EMEA, said in the release. “The U.S. market has demonstrated over the last 5 years that Regeneten is changing surgeons’ traditional approach to rotator cuff repair; biological healing is imperative and our advanced healing shoulder repair products together with Regeneten take us into a new era for joint repair.”
