Orthobiologics

The regenerative medicine revolution is upon us. Like iron and steel to the industrial revolution, like the microchip to the tech revolution, stem cells will be the driving force of this next revolution - Cade Hildreth

Three Biotech Solutions for Knee Repair

If you look very carefully at the C-curved squiggle taking shape on a 3-D printer at Columbia University Medical Center, you just might spot the future of knee repair. Layer by layer, the machine's tiny needle squirts out a bead of white polymer, matching a virtual blueprint of a meniscus—the semicircular band of tough, fibrous cartilage that serves as the knee's shock absorber. A bio-printer in the laboratory of Jeremy Mao can churn out three menisci in just under 16 minutes.

These particular parts are destined for sheep, the test animal for a new method of correcting a torn meniscus, one of the most common of all human joint injuries. Surgeons will substitute the manufactured part…

 Three Biotech Solutions for Knee Repair

New techniques in orthopedic surgery aim to unleash the body's own healing power.

Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation

The Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation (IOF) was founded on the idea that the future of medicine is regenerative. Interventional Orthobiologic Medicine focuses on precise percutaneous placement of orthobiologics under exacting image guidance. These regenerative biologic treatments, like adult stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma, require a level of expertise difficult to attain through most of the education programs out there.

Orthobiologic Ethics Consortium

The Orthobiologics Ethics Consortium was formed in 2017 by a multi-disciplinary group of like minded health care providers interested in promoting ethical research, marketing, and clinical use of orthobiologics

Orthobiologics Associates

Using the latest regenerative medicine technology, it’s our mission to improve the quality of the lives of our patients while avoiding invasive surgical techniques and harmful medications.

Orthohealing Method

The Orthohealing Method cultivates a premier network of physicians providing orthobiologics. We emphasize comprehensive education and training, data driven practice, while promoting creativity, and a strong collaborative environment.

The Orthobiologics Institute

The Orthobiologics Institute (TOBI) provides an annual conference where global thought-leaders in orthobiologics convene to share cutting-edge research and advance the field.

Anthrex

Arthrex continues to experience unprecedented growth and demand for our products throughout the world; however, we remain a privately held company with a family business culture committed to delivering uncompromising quality to the healthcare professionals who use our products, and ultimately, the millions of patients whose lives we impact.

Isto

Orthobiologic therapies harness cells and proteins naturally found in human biology to help support efficient regrowth of musculoskeletal tissues, including cartilage, bone, tendons, and ligaments. 
Isto is an orthobiologics company dedicated to improving patient quality of life by using the science of human biology to advance solutions for spine, orthopedics, and sports medicine.

Regenexx

Regenexx has a range of procedures developed to help patients avoid spine surgery and the side effects of epidural steroid injections. These procedures utilize the patient’s own natural growth factors or stem cells to treat bulging or herniated discs, degenerative conditions in the spine, and other back and neck conditions that cause pain.

Excelsior Orthopaedics

Our bodies are remarkable machines. As science and research gets more and more advanced, we’re able to use the natural healing abilities of the human body to offer new treatment options. As we continually work to better harness these abilities, Excelsior is proud to offer some of the most advanced orthobiologic treatments available. These treatments may be an alternative to surgery as we train your body to use its own cells and resources to heal.

Institute of Regenerative Medicine

At the Institute of Regenerative Medicine, we have combed traditional orthopedic medicine with advances in regenerative medicine to create a safe alternative to back surgery. Instead of cutting or joining parts of the spine, we use adult stem cells and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to restore and rebuild diseased discs in the spine.

SeaSpine

Advances in orthobiologics have given spinal surgeons more options than ever. SeaSpine offers a comprehensive portfolio of bone repair and regeneration products.
