ArthroZheal®

autologous bioactive matrix

ArthroZheal® for orthopaedic surgery

With ArthroZheal® the overall orthopaedic surgery experience is transformed for patients and their surgeons while its bioactive and biocompatible properties successfully provide supportive effects for sealing, healing and regeneration of ligaments, tendons and cartilage.

Provides fast sealing and hemostasis1,3

ArthroZheal® induces immediate polymerization and great adhesion – remaining where applied even on vertical and moist surfaces2 – supporting positioning of grafts. Furthermore, ArthroZheal® improves control of bleeding and reduces hemarthrosis3. Thirdly, ArthroZheal® may offer control of potential contamination through its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial platelet properties4-6.

Supports regeneration and healing of ligaments, tendons, menisci, cartilage and bone

Through a combination of fibrin matrix and a sustained release of high concentrations of growth factors ArthroZheal®improves regeneration and healing of tissue (cartilage, ligaments, menisci, tendons and bone) and support osteo-ligamentization, osteo-integration and graft maturation3.

Easy to apply - also during arthroscopy with saline inside the joint cavity

ArthroZheal® is easy to apply – even in water environment and can be used during arthroscopy with saline inside the joint cavity. It is the only product with immediate polymerization both in dry and in the water/saline environment. 

Vivostat® also offers a reusable arthroscopic handle, which is specifically designed with and for orthopaedic surgeons.
