AMIC® Chondro-Gide® Joelho
AMIC® Chondro-Gide® is a minimally invasive 1-step treatment that uses Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis (AMIC®) combined with Chondro-Gide® to repair cartilage defects of all sizes. Backed by more than 10 years of clinical success, AMIC® Chondro-Gide® is an effective and cost-effective treatment1,2,3 for repairing damaged knee cartilage, alleviating or preventing pain, and slowing the progression of damage.
AMIC® Chondro-Gide® combines microfracturing (MFx) with the use of Chondro-Gide®, which covers and protects both the super clot resulting from MFx and the repair tissue.4 It can be performed either by mini-open or arthroscopic methods. Biocompatible and fully resorbable, Chondro-Gide® supports the body’s own healing potential.
Benefits
With its specially designed bilayer structure, Chondro-Gide® provides a protective environment that fosters the growth of new tissue.5,6
- Bio-derived, bilayer Collagen I/III membrane5
- Biocompatible and naturally resorbed5
- Easy to handle: supple and tear-resistant5
- Can be glued into place5
- Compatible with a range of tissue regeneration techniques7
- One-step procedure5
- Ready for use off the shelf5
