NovatendX was developed for the repair and accelerated healing of damaged or lacerated tendons. The device consists of a highly biocompatible superhelix of natural type I collagen fibers that serves as a scaffold material during the early stages of healing and actively induces  repair and remodeling by cytokine mediated stem cell recruitment. The scaffold contains no pharmaceuticals, only endogenous signaling proteins that tell your body where the problem is. These molecules are not genetically engineered, they are already a part you. We have, through decades of academic research by standing on the shoulders of giants have learned that the natural healing process is often the best. We let the body do a lot of the work.

The material completely resorbs over three months. Hence it is not a prosthetic, not a cement. The only thing that remains after healing is you.

Our newest line of therapies integrate seamlessly with your own body while at the same time sending a signal that there is a defect, such as a rupture, tear or structural damage that needs to be repaired. Here is how NovatendX is used.

Rotator Cuff Injury

Your rotator cuff is the collective name for the four muscles and their associated tendons that impart strength to your shoulder. If anyone one of them suffers damage, most commonly as a result of sports-related trauma and repetitive strain injury, you lose full use of the limb. With current repair procedures, you have a very high chance to suffer re-injury within 18 months.

NovatendX

NovatendX is placed over the damaged tendon that has been secured with sutures and fastened using surgical staples. The bioreseorbable treatment adds strength to the repair where it starts inducing the stem cells that are already in you body to repair and remodel the damage.
