ArthroFLEX<sup>®</sup> Decellularized Dermal Allograft

ArthroFLEX^® Decellularized Dermal Allograft

ArthroFlex dermal allograft is an acellular dermal extracellular matrix intended for supplemental support and covering for soft-tissue repair. MatrACELL^®* technology, a patented and validated process, renders the ArthroFlex allograft dermis acellular without compromising biomechanical or biochemical properties. This process allows the matrix to retain its growth factors, native collagen scaffold, and elastin, which are required for healing.¹ Arthroflex dermal allograft improves the strength of the repair and protects it to allow healing.^2,3MatrACELL technology removes donor DNA from the dermal matrix, ensuring a biocompatible scaffold to facilitate repair.

Rotator Cuff Healing Index (RoHI) Risk Factors

Almost 1 in 5 people fail to heal their primary rotator cuff repair. Many factors influence the risk of failure in tendon healing. A 15-point scoring index (RoHI) was developed to predict healing of the rotator cuff and allows for consideration of when to use graft augmentation to improve biomechanical strength and tendon healing.¹
