Miach Orthopaedics makes ACL tear implant commercially available in U.S.

Miach Orthopaedics announced today that it made the BEAR implant for treating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears commercially available in the U.S.

Westborough, Massachusetts-based Miach designed the BEAR (Bridge-Enhanced ACL repair) implant to enable the healing of a patient’s torn ACL, shifting from the current standard of care that includes reconstruction that replaces the ACL with a graft.

According to a news release, the BEAR implant also received a Popular Science Best of What’s New Award for its representation of a significant step forward in health.

The BEAR implant restores ACL quality and size similar to the non-injured ACL to provide a faster recovery of muscle strength and better patient satisfaction around returns to sports. By eliminating the need for a graft, BEAR allows for patients to avoid needing a second wound site to heal and alleviates worries about donor graft quality or risk of disease.
