DEVICE

BioDuct Meniscal Repair Device

The BioDuct® Meniscal Repair Device is a small, cannulated, arthroscopically implanted, bioabsorbable conduit that has length sizes of 5, 7 and 9 mm. Based on the concept of trephination for treating meniscal tears in the red-white zone, the BioDuct® Meniscal Repair Device is designed to create a vascular access channel between the vascular-rich and cell-rich synovium and the meniscal tear. This channel allows for the flow of blood from the vascular to the avascular tissue to promote repair of the meniscus. The BioDuct® Meniscal Repair Device is not used across meniscal tears, like other fixation devices. The BioDuct® Meniscal Repair Device is used in conjunction with suturing and helps provide vascular access, while the sutures help provide fixation. Based on the Inclusion Criteria of this protocol, there can be a maximum of three BioDuct® Meniscal Repair Devices utilized for the meniscal tear.
