Product Overview
Orteq has developed ACTIfit in conjunction with the world’s leading joint preservation surgeons. With over 4,000 treated patients and over 25 peer-reviewed publications cited in over 100 peer-reviewed publications, ACTIfit is available in more than 30 countries worldwide.
Made from our proprietary polymer, ACTIfit is the first biodegradable, synthetic scaffold, designed to help restore meniscal tissue loss. ACTIfit is safe, tough, and easy to handle in surgery and is currently being evaluated in other unmet clinical needs across a number of joints in the body.
ACTIfit is a synthetic implantable scaffold with a highly interconnected pore structure.
• Proprietary biocompatible and biodegradable polymer
• Implanted arthroscopically into the knee of a patient’s irreparable meniscus
• Promotes meniscus restoration from native tissue
• Designed to support shock absorption of the native meniscus and promote pain relief and functional mobility
• Intended for partial meniscus loss or damage
The knee joint is one of the most biomechanically severe environments in the human body, a successful orthopedic meniscal implant should satisfy two fundamental criteria:
1. be strong enough to retain the sutures prior to integration with native meniscus tissue, and
2. have an open and interconnected pore structure into which blood vessels can grow, allowing the generation of new cartilage cells and tissue.
