Placental tissue patch for rotator cuff repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special tissue patch made from donated placental tissue helps improve healing during rotator cuff repair surgery. The patch is placed over the repaired tendon to support it as it heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear (a tear all the way through the tendon).
- You have not had prior rotator cuff surgery on this shoulder.
- Your tear is not in the subscapularis tendon (a specific front shoulder tendon).
- Your rotator cuff muscle does not have severe fatty degeneration (grade 3 or 4).

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 study compares two types of patches used during rotator cuff repair surgery to help the tendon heal. It aims to find which patch works better for patients with a full tear that can be repaired.
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 trial tests a new way to repair large rotator cuff tears using a tissue patch to help the tendon heal. It might offer a better option for people whose tears are hard to fix with standard surgery.
