Chondrectome™

Chondrectome™

Chondrectomes are specially developed tools that enable a simple and gentle separation of the damaged and calcified cartilage layer from the subchondral surface. The intact subchondral plate remains intact.

Accurate modeling and shaping

Unique shape and sharp cutting edge enable accurate modelling and vertical defect walls.

Gentle separation of damaged cartilage layer

Easy, gentle removal of the damaged cartilage layer while maintaining the subchondral plate.

Suitable for open and arthroscopic approaches

Can be used in any anatomical orientation and with open or arthroscopic approaches.

Effects of an untreated cartilage defect

Untreated joint cartilage injuries can result in larger lesions and eventually osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of impairment due to pain, loss of cartilage and degenerative changes that lead to joint failure. It significantly impairs the quality of life, as it often causes pain and reduced mobility. Preventing OA development is therefore crucial.

A precise angle as a prerequisite for cartilage healing

With Chondrectom™, precise angles can be created in the cartilage, which provide maximum stability for the clot.

cause of cartilage defects

There are various causes that can lead to joint cartilage damage:

Genetic
causes

Inherited abnormalities that can affect cartilage formation.

Vascular
causes

Reduced blood flow leads to poor supply of nutrients.

metabolic
conditional causes

Metabolic disorders lead to cartilage damage and wear and tear.

Traumatic
injuries

Direct injuries or repeated microtraumas damage cartilage.

Healing of joint cartilage lesions

Articular cartilage lesions cannot heal on their own. However, innovative, biological processes make it possible to promote cartilage regeneration and restore joint function.
