BioCartilage®

Conquer Your Pain, Renew Your Body

Used to repair cartilage defects and degeneration, BioCartilage® is a cartilage replacement procedure that provides a framework for new cartilage while stimulating tissue regrowth. A regional pioneer of this cutting-edge treatment, Dr. Robert A. Kayal performs cartilage grafting during a minimally invasive procedure.

BioCartilage is similar in composition to natural articular cartilage. During the procedure, dehydrated BioCartilage particles are mixed with blood, platelet rich plasma or a saline solution, to create a thick paste. Using arthroscopic incisions, the orthopaedic surgeon implants this pasty material into the damaged area. The BioCartilage acts as a scaffold, providing a matrix upon which new cartilage tissue can attach itself. Depending upon your medical history and extent of joint damage, BioCartilage may be helpful for restoring cartilage damage at the knee, ankle or shoulder.
