Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing GeorgiaLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Cartiva, Inc.
| | | Phone: | (770) 754-3855 | Year Established: | 2011 | Main Contact: | Timothy Patrick, President & CEO | | Company Description | Cartiva, a Wright Medical company, has developed a Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) for treating arthritis at the base of the great toe, received U.S. Premarket Approval (PMA) in July 2016. The SCI is composed of a biocompatible, durable, low-friction organic polymer that functions similarly to natural cartilage and can be implanted in about 35 minutes. Unlike fusion, Cartiva reduces joint pain without sacrificing the foot’s natural movement and retains mobility and range of motion. Due to a less restrictive rehabilitation protocol, Cartiva patients typically return to function and activities of daily living faster than patients who undergo a fusion procedure. Additional regulatory approvals have been obtained in Canada, EU, Brazil, Chile and Australia. | |
