BioWick™ SureLock™ Implant

Behind the Biology:

Interpositional scaffold wick

  • Arthroscopically deployed between tendon and bone

Aligned, fibrous scaffold design

  • Scaffold wick is composed of aligned, PLGA microfibers designed to mimic the extracellular matrix of the rotator cuff tendon

Statistically significant sheep study results

  • Significant improvements in histology with no adverse tissue response in the treated vs. control group

Reduced bone removal

  • Smaller pilot hole with no need for decortication to create bleeding bony bed

Simple, reproducible delivery

  • Integrated anchor technology allows implant to be placed in between tendon and bone using current standard arthroscopic techniques

Behind the Data*:

BioWick™ GLP Sheep Study Conducted at Colorado State University: The 56 animal study yielded statistically significant improvements in the treated group versus the control group* in a number of important parameters including:

  • Higher percentage of perpendicular fibers at the tendon-bone interface
  • Greater new bone formation at the tendon-bone interface
  • Higher percentage of tendon-bone integration with tissue
  • Higher levels of Collagen III
