Beyond the First Case Expanding Opportunities for Reinforced Healing

  • Published: 9/3/2026

Reinforcement and biologic healing support are important considerations in many soft-tissue repairs. BioBrace® continues to be used across a growing range of procedures and indications.

Which patients and procedures in your practice may benefit from reinforcement and biologic healing support?

Helping Patients Get Back to What Matters Most

The BioBrace® implant is designed to reinforce soft‑tissue repairs when the repair is weakest, while also supporting organized new tissue formation over time. The result is a repair that is strong early and biologically1 supported as healing progresses.

By addressing both repair integrity and tissue regeneration, BioBrace® is designed to enhance healing and support improved patient outcomes, helping patients reduce pain, regain function, and return to the activities that matter most.2

CONfidence Backed By Data

A growing body of clinical and real-world evidence demonstrates:

  • 94% healing rates in challenging rotator cuff repairs augmented with BioBrace®2
  • Improvements in pain, function, and range of motion2
  • 98.6% healing rate in BioBrace-augmented ACL Reconstructions3
  • In a retrospective study, there were no cases of recurrent dislocation of MPFL reconstructions augmented with BioBrace®4

The BioBrace® Difference: Reinforcement and Biologic1 Healing in One Solution

Most augmentation options present a trade-off: strength or biology.

BioBrace® is designed to provide both. Its highly porous bioinductive scaffold is engineered to:

  • Reinforce the repair with mechanical strength at time zero5
  • Support organized new tissue formation during healing6
  • Resorb over time, leaving behind organized functional tissue6

By addressing both repair integrity and tissue healing, BioBrace® offers a dual-purpose solution that supports recovery without leaving behind a permanent implant.

Simple to Integrate. Easy to Repeat.

BioBrace® is designed to integrate into established surgical techniques across a variety of soft-tissue repairs. In rotator cuff repair, the BioBrace® RC Delivery System helps streamline implant delivery and supports efficient integration into existing workflows.

This procedural flexibility makes BioBrace® a practical augmentation option across a growing range of applications.

One Implant System. Multiple Procedures.

The need for reinforcement and biologic healing support extends across many soft-tissue repair procedures. With applications reported in more than 70 procedures, BioBrace® provides a versatile option for augmentation across a broad range of clinical scenarios.
