Smith+Nephew’s Bioinductive Implant Receives CE Mark

Smith+Nephew has earned CE mark certification for its Regeneten bioinductive implant for use in rotator cuff repairs.

The collagen-based implant spurs the growth of new tissue to support the existing tendon and to prevent disease progression. It is approximately the size of a postage stamp, and it breaks down and disperses within six months.

Clinical evidence has shown that the implant covers the entire range of rotator cuff injury, from partial to large and massive tears, the company said.
