Features and Benefits:

Artelon® is a unique, degradable biomaterial that serves as a scaffold for tissue ingrowth and provides temporary support for healing tissue.
Artelon® was developed specifically for medical applications and has clinical documentation with long follow-up periods. Thousands of patients worldwide have been successfully treated with Artelon® implants.

The key features of Artelon® are:  
  • Serves as a temporary scaffold for the body’s own cellswhile it degrades and integrates with the body over a six year period
  • Stabilizes and relieves load during the healing period – long term support for healing tissue
  • The Artelon® fiber retains about 50% of the tensile strength after 4 years.
  • Artelon® is designed with a predictable degradation profile.
  • Degradation is completed in approximately six years 
  • About 50% of the initial mass will remain at the implantation site and is integrated into the host tissue
  • Excellent biocompatibility -minimal risk of inflammatory reactions and no foreign body reaction 
  • Synthetic; eliminates risk of disease transmission or collagen reactions
