Tissue Annual injuries (US)
Wrist/Hand ligament 200,000
Rotator Cuff Tendon 400,000
ACL 550,000
THUMB UCL (ULNARCOLLATERAL LIGAMENT)
Autografts ( $300M ACL market)
- Donor site morbidity
- Additional incision
- Risk of complications
Allografts & Xenografts ( $200M ACL market)
- Variable quality
- Inconsistent availability
- Risk of infection
- Slow to heal
- High cost

Cell Guidance: Migration & Proliferation
Small Animal Study
Platelet Rich Plasma Controlled Delivery
Stem Cell Seeded Scaffolds
Key Bridge Component
Bridge Parameters: – Diameter & length woven as req’d– “J” elasticity similar to ACL
Advantages:– Ligament-like strength on day one– Consistent quality– Accelerated growth and repair– Patient Platelet / Stem Cell Seeding
