The Holy Grail in Augmentation

The BioBrace^® implant combines the biological healing potential of highly porous Type I collagen with the mechanical strength of PLLA microfilaments to support tendon healing. Engineered to protect repairs during the vulnerable healing phase, the BioBrace^® implant promotes tissue growth, reduces stress on healing tissue, and supports the body's natural healing processes.

RoHI (Rotator Cuff Healing Index)

Since numerous factors impact the risk of failure in tendon healing, the RoHI scoring index was created to help predict rotator cuff healing.
