The AMIC® Arthroscopic Instruments
facilitate the precise and efficient insertion of the Chondro-Gide® membrane in cartilage lesions of the medial and lateral femoral condyle between 1.5 and 2.5 cm2.
Benefits:
- Perpendicular cartilage shoulders thanks to calibrated cartilage punch
- Standardized bone marrow stimulation of your choice
- Precisely fitting membrane for the stabilization of the coagulate
- Easy insertion and fixation of the Chondro-Gide® membrane
- Additional biologization possible (Minced Cartilage, PRP,...)
Due to decreased morbidity and shorter rehabilitation time, arthroscopic techniques are the preferred approach for small and middle-sized cartilage lesions by many surgeons.1
The arthroscopic technique for the AMIC® Chondro-Gide® in the knee joint with overlapping patches has been described by Piontek et al. 2012.2
