Artelon’s US Food & Drug Administration 510(k)–cleared FlexBand®, FlexPatch®, and FlexBand Plus® are designed for ligament repair surgery in addition to tendon repairs, with new clearance that has expanded the indications for these products to now include reinforcement of medial, lateral, and ulnar collateral ligaments, spring ligaments, deltoid ligaments, and extra-articular ligaments in the ankle, knee, and other joints around the body. Artelon’s Dynamic Matrix® technology used in FlexBand products is a proprietary polymeric bio-textile for musculoskeletal soft tissue reinforcement. Dynamic Matrix is designed to mimic the natural mechanical and biological properties of healing tendon and ligament tissue. It has been proven in clinical studies to protect the surgical repair during early healing, quickly restore the mechanics of motion, and support development of regenerating tissue before dissolving over several years.
