The SmartShot® microneedling device is a new option for ankle joint preservation that is shown to be 67% less disruptive to subchondral bone and provide improved healing compared to traditional marrow stimulation techniques. This marrow access device was designed specifically to address the unique needs of ankle joint preservation and to promote healing and improve access in the ankle. SmartShot uses a patented mechanism to create deep, microneedle channels into bone to stimulate the patient’s own natural healing reaction. The penetration of the outer layers of bone allows blood and stem cells from within the bone marrow to activate cartilage, ligament, and tendon healing. The platform SmartShot marrow access device is indicated for treatment of injuries in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, and elbow.
