The implant system uses a flexible, knitted, HA-based scaffold and has the ability to strengthen and regenerate over first-generation collagen patches, helping patients heal by using cell infiltration, tissue remodelling, and tendon thickening. 

Commenting on the milestone, Cheryl R. Blanchard, CEO Anika was enthusiastic on the value the Integrity Implant System would bring to the company. “The HA-based patch, together with the instrumentation and fixation, provide a seamless, efficient, and elegant rotator cuff repair solution,” said Blanchard. “This clearance opens significant opportunities in the shoulder and we see future expansion for this innovative technology in other anatomies.”

Timothy Codd, MD, of the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center agreed with Blanchard, confirming that the clearance would create opportunities in orthopaedics. “Building on previous work with biological augmentation, the new Integrity system will be the next step forward in improving tendon healing and patient outcomes, with refined and more precise delivery,” said Codd.

“With the ability to augment and improve tendon healing along with increased structural support for early tendon repairs, Integrity should be the next big advance in improving patient outcomes in rotator cuff disease.”
