Description

From Which Medical Device

BST-CarGel is a novel chitosan-based liquid scaffold intended to promote hyaline cartilage regeneration in the adult knee when used in conjunction with bone marrow stimulation. 

BST-CarGel is mixed with autologous blood before implantation into a debrided cartilage lesion prepared with bone marrow stimulation.

A clinical study has demonstrated better outcomes than microfracture alone, and a hyaline cartilage-like repair in the articular defect.
