New implant aims to improve shoulder surgery outcomes
NCT ID NCT06857084
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is tracking up to 400 people who are having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a device called the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant. The implant is placed to support healing of the torn tendon. Researchers will measure shoulder function, pain, and quality of life for two years after surgery. The goal is to see how well the implant works in real-world settings across multiple countries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant (a medical device used to support tendon healing)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the REGENETEN implant improves shoulder function and reduces retear rates after rotator cuff surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The implant is already approved, so this study is mainly gathering real-world data rather than testing a new breakthrough.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
