Engineered with purpose

biological restoration

Purpose-designed to be capable of quickly integrating with and ultimately replaced by type-1collagen.

A biomaterial engineered to mimic, and be replaced by, soft tissue.

dynamic reinforcement

Provides strength similar to ankle soft tissue,  and appropriate elasticity to support motion without constraining it.

An efficient system and technique specifically designed for ankle stabilization.

Indications for use:

Artelon® FlexBand, FlexPatch, and FlexBand Plus Tissue Reinforcement products are intended for use in general surgical procedures for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists. Artelon® FlexBand, FlexPatch, and FlexBand Plus are also intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or suture anchors, during tendon repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, or quadriceps tendons. Artelon® FlexBand, FlexPatch, and FlexBand Plus are not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, or quadriceps tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the tendon repair. Artelon® Tissue Reinforcement reinforces soft tissue and provides a degradable scaffold that is incorporated into the patient's own tissue.
