Deploying a simplified surgical technique optimised for minimally invasive surgery, SINEFIX enables refixation of the rotator cuff tendon to the bone.

This technique needs minimal instrumentation and eliminates suture management complexity and the knot-tying process.

Inovedis founder and CEO Lukas Flöss said: “The new funding brings significant financial capital to accelerate the launch of SINEFIX and innovations that promote improvements in the way rotator cuff tears are treated today.

“We are looking forward to starting a limited market release in the US to begin gathering experience around SINEFIX and working on future product generations.”
