BioPatch – a bio-instructive resorbable implant for enhancing surgical repair of rotator cuff tendon

Applications: rotator cuff tendon repair, orthopaedic repair, soft tissue repair

40% of rotator cuff repairs FAIL within 12 months of surgery. BioPatch is a multi-layered degradable patch which can help combat this by providing both bioactivity and great mechanical strength, invented by surgical team.

Features	Benefits
Components are made of polydioxanone (PDO)	This is an established biocompatible polymer which easily degrades over time by hydrolysis
Highly porous, non-woven electrospun component	Bio-instructive – Stimulates new tissue formation via cell structure mimicry to recruits local cells to reform through natural proliferation
Woven component	Provides great overall mechanical strength
Layering of woven and non-woven components	Allows for the combination of improved mechanical properties and bioactivity Novel method underpinned by granted patents & 10 years of know-how
Electrospinning of the non-woven component	Potential for entrapment of bioactive molecules such as growth factors or vitamins, into the fibres
Synthetic, degradable patch	Consistent manufacture Degrades within 6 months, avoiding foreign body complications
