Placental tissue patch for rotator cuff repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a patch made from donated human placental tissue to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears during surgery. It may improve recovery and reduce the risk of re-tearing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear (the tendon is completely torn through)
- You have not had surgery on that shoulder before
- Your tear is not in a specific part called the subscapularis tendon
- Your muscle has not shrunk or turned into fat beyond a mild degree

This trial tests a new patch, FiberLocker, to help repair a torn rotator cuff tendon. It's for people who need surgery for a full-thickness tear caused by an injury, and aims to improve healing.
This study checks how well a Pitch-Patch device is doing to support the rotator cuff (a shoulder tendon). It enrolls people who had the device placed about 2 to 2.5 years ago so the researchers can follow outcomes and safety over time.
This trial studies whether repairing a rotator cuff tear using a patch made from human donor skin improves healing and shoulder function. It is for people with certain types of degenerative tears that can be fully repaired by surgery.
This trial compares two types of patches (one made from human skin, the other from cow collagen) used during rotator cuff surgery to help the torn tendon heal better. It's for people who need a patch to strengthen the repair.
This study tests whether adding a patch to standard rotator cuff repair helps large tears heal better. It's for adults who need their first surgery for a tear involving at least two tendons.
This study tests whether adding a donated skin graft during rotator cuff repair helps heal large tears better than repair alone. It may be an option for people with a first-time, large rotator cuff tear who have moderate to severe fatty changes in the muscle.
