Available from McCall International Medical, the CARTIVA® Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) device is comprised of an organic hydrogel polymer made of polyvinyl alcohol and saline. CARTIVA® SCI has a high water content, and its elastic and compressive mechanical properties are similar to articular cartilage.1 The device is intended to replace focal areas of painful damaged cartilage thereby reducing pain and maintaining range of motion in the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.
The clear Introducer provides visual confirmation of implant placement during insertion. Markings give the ability to confirm proper implant orientation. Introducer tip fits into the cavity to provide enhanced stability during implant delivery.
