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.
