The iBalance® UKA system is a complete minimally invasive instrument and implant platform for the treatment of localized unicondylar cartilage degeneration in the medial or lateral compartment resulting from osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthrosis. Highly anatomical femoral and tibial resurfacing implants and a novel innovative instrument platform facilitate an accurate, efficient, and reproducible surgical technique. The coronal and sagittal geometries of the femoral implants match the curvature of a normal knee, and the tapered anterior aspect helps reduce the incidence of patellar abutment. The minimalistic instrumentation system is elegantly designed to be intuitive for the surgeon and OR staff,which helps to reduce the learning curve. The iBalance UKA system provides a predictable, balanced result that ensures near-natural kinematics of the operative compartment.

The iBalance® PFJ system is a complete arthroplasty solution for patients with isolated patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthrosis, or other degenerative changes. The system’s low-profile, anatomic trochlear implant—which is available in 4 sizes— articulates with a round dome, 3-peg patellar component.
Simplicity and efficiency are key elements of the iBalance PFJ instrument platform. A single tray of instrumentation minimizes sterilization costs, and turnover times and helps ensure predictable, reproducible patellofemoral arthroplasty procedures. Precisely prepare the trochlea to match the underside geometry of the implant with the anterior femoral resection guide and captured jig.

Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty (UKA)

Partial Knee Resurfacing

Isolated compartmental arthritis is radiographically evident in nearly half of all patients who present with knee pain1. This serves to demonstrate, that while tricompartmental (total) knee arthroplasty is today’s standard, more conservative arthroplasty solutions with successful track records do exist and may meet the needs of patients with isolated, single-compartment changes. The iBalance® system provides optimized solutions for medial or lateral tibiofemoral arthrosis and patellofemoral arthrosis.

Orthobiologics

JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressings are composed of advanced microcurrent-generating technology used for the management of surgical incision sites. Microcell batteries made of elemental silver and zinc generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline, or water. This microcurrent is designed to support the body's natural electrical healing process and provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing's technology has demonstrated broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours.

Arthrex Amnion matrix is rich in growth factors and contains regenerative qualities that maintain the natural healing properties of amnion. Used as an anatomical barrier or wrap in a variety of orthopedic applications. Arthrex Amnion provides essential biological and mechanical protection while helping to prevent adhesion.1

Arthrex Amnion™ Matrix

The IntraOsseous BioPlasty (IOBP) surgical technique is for the treatment of bone pathologies resulting from acute or chronic injury, including bone marrow lesions associated with insufficiency fractures, persistent bone bruises, osteoarthritis, and early stages of avascular necrosis. The IOBP® procedure treats these pathologies through a core decompression of the lesion and a direct application of platelet-rich plasma concentrate (cPRP) from bone marrow aspirate (BMA) using the Arthrex Angel® cPRP and bone marrow processing system. The IOBP procedure encourages physiologic bone remodeling and repair.

The BioUni OATS Instrument Set is the new standard for restoration of the articular surface when presented with elongated cartilage defects in the medial femoral condyle. Through a series of precisely designed cutting instruments, surgeons can replace damaged cartilage with a single, elliptical piece of viable, hyaline cartilage.

BioUni® OATS® Instrument Set

BioCartilage extracellular matrix was designed to provide a reproducible, simple, and inexpensive method to augment traditional microfracture procedures. BioCartilage matrix is developed from allograft cartilage and contains the extracellular matrix that is native to articular cartilage, including key components such as type II collagen, proteoglycans, and additional cartilaginous growth factors. The principle of BioCartilage matrix is to serve as a scaffold over a microfractured defect, providing a tissue network that can potentially signal autologous cellular interactions, and to improve the degree and quality of tissue healing within a properly prepared articular cartilage defect.
