ArthroFLEX®

ArthroFlex BioWasher is a smaller-sized acellular dermal matrix intended for suture reinforcement in soft tissue repairs, such as the rotator cuff.

  • Smaller Size: Easily passes through surgical portal for implantation in arthroscopic procedures.
  • Increased Safety: Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 means lower risk of disease transmission.
  • Decellularized: Uses Matracell® technology to remove ≥97% of DNA and cellular remnants to decrease likelihood of immune response.1
  • Promotes Rapid Healing: Biocompatible and retains natural growth factors, collagen and elastin. Addresses most common mode of failure by reinforcing suture-tendon interface.3
  • Convenient: Preservon® technology allows graft to be stored fully hydrated at room temperature (15°C - 30°C) so it can be used right out of the package, without lengthy OR reconstitution processes.1
Clinical Application
  • Suture reinforcement of soft tissue repairs
  • Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff repair
  • Achilles Tendon repair
  • Plantar Plate repair
