SEAMLESS INTEGRATION SUPERCHARGED HEALING

BioCharge is a bioresorbable autobiologic matrix designed to address the healing environment on the bursal side of the rotator cuff, while improving tissue quality and deterring suture cut-through.

A SOLUTION TO A WEAK LINK in Rotator Cuff Healing

• The tendon-suture interface’s poor healing is a key concern in rotator cuff repair (RCR) failure, as sutures can tear through weakened tendon tissue under high stress.


• With an integrated delivery system, there is no secondary fixation, reducing implantation time and eliminating the risk of further tendon damage.

ROTATOR CUFF HEALING DRIVEN BY SYNTHETICS

BioCharge enhances rotator cuff healing at the suture-tendon interface by facilitating cellular activity that supports tissue regeneration and native remodeling.

BioCharge® Features including: Focused medialized coverage, reinforce suture-tendon interface; integrated suture/tape tunnel, fast deployement and fixation-free implant pre-loaded with snare; mimics native ECM, wicks biology.

EFFICIENT TECHNIQUE STEPS

Step 1

Using sutures from medial row anchor, load suture through snare and pull through BioCharge tunnel.

BioCharge® TECHNIQUE Step 1: Using sutures from medial row anchor, load suture through snare and pull through BioCharge® tunnel.

Step 2

Shuttle BioCharge down cannula, retrieve additional sutures, and place lateral anchor.
