Chondroplasty Tool for a Clinical Cartilage Biopsy Procedure
The proposed technology is a novel approach to harvest 200 mg of articular cartilage from the patient required for the MACI procedure to treat symptomatic articular cartilage lesions. The device will be inserted into the knee via cannula, to harvest cartilage from the non-load bearing surfaces of the medial and lateral femoral condyles. The device can...
