CARTIHEAL AGILI-C Cartilage Repair Implant
The CARTIHEAL AGILI-C Cartilage Repair Implant is a specialized medical device intended for the treatment of knee-joint surface lesions. As a single-stage, off-the-shelf solution, it is designed to address both cartilage defects and osteochondral conditions in patients ranging from Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0 to 3. The implant serves as a biphasic scaffold derived from a naturally occurring calcium carbonate known as aragonite, offering a porous and biocompatible structure for surgical repair. The design philosophy centers on facilitating the body's natural regenerative processes to restore both damaged cartilage and subchondral bone. By providing a structural framework, the device is intended to support the integration and maturation of tissues at the implantation site. Evidence suggests that the material is designed to be largely resorbed by the body over time, specifically within an 18-month period, while providing sustained clinical performance. Clinical evaluations have indicated that the device is intended to deliver meaningful improvements in patient pain, functional outcomes, and overall quality of life. Compared to traditional surgical standards such as microfracture and debridement, the implant is intended to provide durable results in long-term follow-up studies. It represents a targeted approach to managing cartilage health, ensuring that the specific needs of the articular surface are met through a controlled, reproducible procedure.
