Arthritis,
producing intense pain on motion due to damaged cartilage,
affects approximately 50% of all older adults and is a leading cause of
disability. SaluMedica is using Salubria biomaterial to develop an
articular cartilage implant that may be molded into a shape to replace
the damaged cartilage. This cartilage implant may serve as an alternative
to a metal total knee replacement. We are also developing a second-
generation Salubria device to be delivered arthroscopically. |
