ActivBraid implant for rotator cuff repair study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special implant (ActivBraid) to help repair a torn rotator cuff. If you have a moderate-sized tear and haven't had prior shoulder surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a special patch placed during minimally invasive shoulder surgery to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It may help people whose tears are large or massive and who already tried non-surgical treatment without enough improvement.
This study tests a new implant called BioBrace to help repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears during shoulder surgery. It may be a good option if you have a moderate-sized tear, have already tried non-surgical treatments, and are between 40 and 70 years old.
This study compares two surgical approaches for fixing large, two-tendon rotator cuff tears in the shoulder, using a product called BioBrace®. It may help you understand which approach leads to better recovery and shoulder function.
This study tests whether adding special tissue from your shoulder and a blood-derived product during rotator cuff repair surgery helps the tendon heal better and function more normally.
This trial studies a specific surgical approach to repair medium to large rotator cuff tears (a common shoulder injury) using minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery combined with biceps tendon repair. It aims to evaluate outcomes in patients who are good candidates for this type of surgery.
This study tests whether a specific implant (the REGENETEN bioinductive implant) helps heal severe partial-thickness rotator cuff tears in the shoulder. You might benefit if you have a high-grade tear that didn’t improve after months of physical therapy.
