BioWick® Implants
Interpositional Scaffold-Anchor Implants for Rotator Cuff Repair
BioWick is the first all-in-one, interpositional scaffold-anchor implant designed to address both the biological and mechanical issues of rotator cuff repair. By combining an interpositional scaffold wick & traditional suture anchor into one implant, BioWick offers a comprehensive approach to repair.
System Features
Unique “Interpositional” Scaffold Wick
Arthroscopically deployed at the tendon-bone interface where tendon-bone integration needs to occur.
- Aligned PLGA (85/15 L-lactide/glycolide copolymer) fibers mimic the orientation of collagen fibers in the native tendon1
- 80% porous architecture allows for high permeability
- Bioresorbable material is designed to be replaced by tissue over time
Results from the BioWick SureLock® Implant Sheep Study demonstrate that the BioWick Implant yields statistically significant improvements to the following healing parameters at the tendon-bone interface at 12 weeks versus controls2,3
- Higher percentage of tissue Integration at the tendon-bone interface
- Greater new bone formation at the tendon-bone interface
- Higher percentage of perpendicular fibers at the tendon-bone interface
- Higher levels of collagen III at the tendon-bone interface
