Miach Orthopaedics, Inc., is dedicated to developing bio-engineered surgical implants for connective tissue restoration.
The company’s first product is the Bridge-Enhanced® ACL Restoration (BEAR®) Implant used to facilitate healing of the torn ACL. Unlike reconstruction the BEAR Implant does not require a second surgical wound site to remove a healthy tendon from another part of the leg or the use of a donor tendon. The BEAR Implant acts as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL. The surgeon injects a small amount of the patient’s own blood into the implant and inserts it between the torn ends of the ACL in a minimally invasive procedure. The combination of the BEAR Implant and the patient’s blood enables the body to heal the torn ends of the ACL back together while maintaining the ACL’s original attachments to the femur and tibia. The BEAR Implant is resorbed by the body as the ACL heals.
