IT’S ALL ABOUT THE ENTHESIS™

EnFix® - The Future of Bone-to-Tendon Repair

EnFix® is specifically designed to address Enthesis Failure Syndrome by promoting the remodeling of tissue approximating that of the natural bone-tendon enthesis.

Our technology has a successful clinical legacy and has been extensively studied in bone and tendon healing demonstrating both osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. The demineralized bone fibers in EnFix® promote optimal biologic performance while easily integrating into current surgical techniques.

The Bone Textile™ technology yields long and strong fibers that promote cell wicking, cell adhesion and cell proliferation, versus the highly variable short shavings that are produced by other processes. The FormLok™ technology imparts shape retention to the device, even when immersed in liquid, as is often required for use in arthroscopic surgery.

Rotator Cuff Market

$3 Billion

In the United States alone, more than 500,000 rotator cuff repairs (RCR) are performed annually at a cost of $3 billion.

20% to 70%

20% to 70% of RCRs structurally fail. This failure rate is likely to rise given an aging population with greater functional demands.

RCR Augmentation

Most augmentation products have focused on overlays / patches to reinforce the tendon.

Tetrous has flipped the script by developing methods to enhance healing at the tendon-to-bone interface

The enthesis is where failures often occur in sports medicine repairs. Tendon reattachment to the bone is a crucial clinical need, especially in larger tears, since failure rates increase linearly with tear size.
