Agili-C™
What is Agili-C™?
Agili-C™ is an innovative implant designed for the treatment of cartilage and osteochondral defects in traumatic and osteoarthritic joints. It's a cell-free, off-the-shelf product that provides a biocompatible, resorbable, and bi-phasic scaffold. This scaffold is made of interconnected natural inorganic calcium carbonate (aragonite). The implant is inserted into a prepared hole in the joint using a designated surgical toolset, and it's designed to integrate with the body's natural healing processes.
Benefits of The Agili-C™
- Repair of Cartilage and Bone: Agili-C™ may help repair damaged cartilage and bone, potentially restoring joint function.
- Superior to Standard Treatments: It has been shown to be superior to traditional treatments like microfracture and debridement for knee joint surface lesions.
- Wide Range of Indications: The implant can be used for a variety of conditions, including arthritis, up to three cartilage lesions, both cartilage and osteochondral defects, and larger defect sizes.
- Improvement in Knee Function: Patients have reported significant improvements based on the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) compared to those treated with standard surgical care.
- High Responder Rate: A high percentage of patients experienced an improvement of at least 30 points in KOOS when treated with Agili-C™.
