AutoCart™ Technique for the Knee

The AutoCart technique is used to treat symptomatic articular cartilage defects. This single-stage, matrix-augmented, autologous chondrocyte transplant that combines osteochondral tissue collected using the GraftNet™ device with BioCartilage^® extracellular matrix and Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP).

After resection, this combination graft is delivered directly to the defect site and can be sealed with autologous thrombin serum produced with the Thrombinator™ device. In knee applications, the AutoCart procedure is most commonly used to treat femoral condyle or patellofemoral lesions.
