CartiMax® is used for treating cartilage voids. It preserves inherent growth factors and cells native to cartilage.1 Multiple studies demonstrate that chondrocytes migrate and proliferate from the cartilage fibers and secrete components found in hyaline cartilage. 2-4

Get Back to Living, Faster

As a readily available solution, CartiMax® patients can skip the “waiting list” and avoid two-stage procedures that prolong recovery.

Optimal Handling Properties

CartiMax® is shapeable to conform to cartilage defects of various shapes and sizes. No shaping, trimming, suturing, or gluing is required.

Off-the-Shelf Convenience

Need a solution that’s ready-to-go? CartiMax® is the answer!

Studies have demonstrated stable viability up to 2 years post-cryopreservation.1 One package of CartiMax® contains enough cartilage matrix to fill a 5cm2 lesion.

"When you’re talking about other options for cartilage restoration, they often include having to order something and bring it in, or do a second-stage procedure to finalize the treatment. But with CartiMax® it’s a win-win for everybody in a sense that it’s off the shelf and it’s a single stage operation…I think that makes the patients happy because there’s a lot of predictability with the process."
