PGLA
- Mechanical Stability- immediate defect coverage and intra-articular haemostasisFully absorbed within 3 to 4 months
Hyaluronic Acid
- Stimulates Chondrogenesis Viscoelastic propertes
A single step cell-free implant used to treat traumatic or degenerative cartilage defects in combination with microfracture and nano-drilling techniques.

HA impregnated to stimulate stem cell differentiation to chondrocytes - not fibroblasts.
Why Hyaluronic Acid?
- Decisive for the organisation of cartilage proteoglycan aggregates.
- Functions as a filter to stop the flow of molecules which are harmful for chondrogenesis, e.g. erythrocytes and leukocytes.
- Viscoelastic properties and is a natural part of the synovial fluid and of the extracellular chondrocyte matrix.
