, /PRNewswire/ — Inovedis Inc., a cutting-edge medical technology start-up, has announced a major milestone in soft tissue repair with the first U.S. patients receiving treatment using their revolutionary SINEFIX™ Rotator Cuff Repair System. This breakthrough system aims to transform the approach to rotator cuff surgery by addressing not just biomechanical fixation, but the critical role of blood flow in tendon-to-bone healing.
Rotator cuff repairs have historically been plagued by high failure rates despite advancements in surgical techniques. Many traditional methods focus on strengthening the fixation of the tendon to the bone, but new findings suggest that overemphasis on fixation might actually hinder the healing process. The key lies in minimizing tension and evenly distributing pressure over the largest possible contact surface between tendon and bone, promoting better circulation and biological healing.
“Rotator cuff surgery requires biomechanical stability, but excessive tension can compromise blood flow and slow healing,” explained Dr. Brian Cohen…
