Revolutionizing Cartilage Repair with Biomimetic Grafts
At Altach our goal is to become the gold standard in regenerative cartilage technology. We are building a portfolio of biomimetic cartilage grafts allowing surgeons to repair cartilage defects and restore patient’s quality of life.
PROBLEM
The Challenge of
Cartilage Repair
Untreated, cartilage defects can lead to osteoarthritis which affects 1 in 4 adults. To prevent this over 600,000 cartilage repair procedures are performed annually in the US. Unfortunately, many of the currently available solutions do not provide satisfactory long-term outcomes, result in a low quality cartilage repair, require multiple procedures, or are prohibitively expensive.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Acellular Type II
collagen scaffold
Altach is developing a portfolio of biomimetic cartilage scaffolds utilising Type II collagen which is the building block of native cartilage. The scaffolds are designed to be used stand alone and in conjunction with other cell based therapies. The implants unique composition create a matrix for the patient’s own cells to migrate into and regenerate the cartilage.
PATIENT IMPACT
Restoring Quality of Life for Patients
Mobility
Articular cartilage is a tissue which is critical for the pain and friction free movement of your joints. Our technology promotes the regeneration of damaged cartilage to allow patients to return to activity.
Reduced Pain
Untreated cartilage defects can lead to pain, inflammation and osteoarthritis. Our scaffold regenerates damaged cartilage and bone in order to reduce pain and delay or stop progression of cartilage damage to osteoarthritis
Improved Health
The unique characteristics of the Altach technology promote true tissue regeneration rather than temporary repair, providing patients with improved outcomes.
Empowering Surgeons with Cutting-Edge Solutions
Precision and Confidence in Cartilage Repair
Altach’s biomimetic scaffold closely mimic natural cartilage, providing surgeons with advanced tools to perform more precise and effective repairs.
Simplified Surgical Procedures
Our scaffold are designed for ease of integration, reducing complexity in the operating room and enabling faster, more reliable procedures.
Better Patient Outcomes
By using innovative regenerative solutions, surgeons can offer their patients improved long-term joint function and reduced recovery times, leading to higher satisfaction and success rates.
