What CartiMax® Users are Saying
“When you’re talking about other options for cartilage restoration, they often include having to order something and bring it in, or do a second-stage procedure to finalize the treatment. But with CartiMax® it’s a win-win for everybody in a sense that it’s off the shelf and it’s a single stage operation…I think that makes the patients happy because there’s a lot of predictability with the process.”
Dr. W. Stephen Choate
“I’ve been very impressed with how quickly people return to function after CartiMax®. I’ve seen high level athletes get back to full sports such as football at six months. I’ve seen weekend warrior athletes playing tennis at a high level six to nine months after using CartiMax®, and I’ve been very impressed with the overall patient outcomes.”
Dr. Deryk Jones
