How often does suture "Over-Tightening" or "Under-Tightening" occur during rotator cuff repair surgery? Is there a benefit to controlling suture tension? Over-Tightening happens when sutures are pulled too tightly, leading to excessive tension on the tissue, restricted blood flow, impaired healing, and potential tissue failure. Can this limit shoulder movement post-surgery and cause stiffness? Under-Tightening occurs when sutures aren't tight enough, risking an unstable repair. Could this result in poor healing, persistent weakness, or pain in the shoulder? The PHANTOM-LP™ is the first and only knotless 100% PEEK anchor that allows for suture tension adjustment after the anchor is fully inserted. Dr. Matthew Ramsey explains how he uses the PHANTOM-LP™ locking mechanism to adjust suture tension after insertion, as demonstrated in the video. Why expose rotator cuff tears to over- or under-tightening when it can be avoided? Comments are welcome—it's how we learn and refine our skills. #rotatorcuff #shoulderpain #shouldersurgery #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgery #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgeon #medtech #medicaldevices #innovation #investor #technology

ADVANCING THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH TENDON TEARS
About us
What is Aevumed? Aevumed is a medical device start-up, founded by ambitious and energetic medical device professionals in the greater Philadelphia area. The company aims to advance the quality of life in patients with rotator cuff tears by providing innovative solutions that improve healing between the tendon and bone. The venture sells the PHANTOM® suture anchor, and is developing the PHANTOM-L™ and PHANTOM-X™ products to further improve healing at the tendon/bone interface. What is rotator cuff surgery? The rotator cuff is a bundle of muscles and tendons that hold the humeral head (the ball of the shoulder) into the glenoid (the cup of the shoulder), and allow the upper arm to mobilize. Through aging and wear, these tendons can tear away from the bone, causing pain and mobility issues. Rotator cuff surgery aims at re-attaching these tendons to the bone. What is the market? The extremity market is the fastest growing (10% CAGR) in orthopedics. There were over 770,000 arthroscopic rotator cuff tissue repair surgeries in 2018 and the average cost per surgery is over $3,250, making a market size of over $2.5B. What are the clinical problems & needs? Rotator cuff re-tears are the major complication after surgery accounting 20% of overall cases and costing over $0.5B per year. This problem is caused by; (1) Unavailability of biological devices that promote healing between tendon & bone; (2) High stresses induced by current implants; (3) relatively small surface area interface between tendon & bone. What are Aevumed’s products? 1- PHANTOM® – FDA cleared Suture Anchor. Great pull-out strength, faster, and cost-effective. 2- PHANTOM-L™ – Lateral Row anchors for large tears. Great pull-out strength and suture retention. 3- PHANTOM-X™ – Biologic device delivery system for improved tendon and bone attachment. Efficient biologic delivery over & under tendon (Addresses clinical needs mentioned above).

Is an “Overlay” or “Interposition” scaffold more effective for full-thickness rotator cuff repair? Is there a benefit to using both approaches (nicknamed the “taco” by some)? The rotator cuff is associated with fibrocartilaginous entheses, which provide a gradual transition from tendon to bone, accommodating both the tensile and compressive forces experienced in the shoulder joint. “Overlay” scaffolds are placed on top of the rotator cuff and are traditionally secured using staples or sutures. This approach is designed to promote healing from the top of the tendon and provide mechanical integrity to the construct. What effect does this have on the tendon-bone interface (entheses) and overall healing? “Interposition” scaffolds are placed between the rotator cuff and bone. They are traditionally made from synthetic polymers and rely on sutures from anchors to secure their position. This approach is designed to promote healing between the tendon and bone without adding significant mechanical integrity to the construct. What effect does this have on the tendon-bone interface (entheses) and overall healing? The PHANTOM-X™ is the first and only scaffold with a delivery and security system that combines both the “Overlay” and “Interposition” approaches. The video demonstrates the ease of the delivery system and the novel design of the scaffold, which uses Aevumed’s proprietary 3D printing technology, BioTendon 3D™, to fabricate tendon-specific scaffolds. Why limit full-thickness rotator cuff tears to just one approach when both can be used? Comments are welcome. It's how we learn and hone our skills. (PHANTOM-X™ is not yet on the market or FDA cleared. Aevumed does not make claims about its safety, effectiveness, or intended use.) #rotatorcuff #shoulderpain #shouldersurgery #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgery #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgeon #medtech #medicaldevices #innovation #technology #creativity #startups #investor #health

How often does "Bone Cheese-Cutting" occur during Rotator Cuff surgery? External Suture Anchors have sutures on the outside of the anchor exposing sutures that cut bone (Bone Cheese-Cutting). This can be apparently seen during surgery but what happens after the surgery when sutures experience micro-motion from the human body? Internal Suture Anchors have sutures inside the anchor and protect bone from being cut by sutures. The PHANTOM-LP is the first and only knotless 100% PEEK anchor that is an Internal Suture Anchor. Biomechanics research as shown in the video demonstrate how the PHANTOM-LP can protect bone from Bone Cheese-Cutting even after 1,000 load cycles. Why expose bone to Cheese-Cutting when it can be avoided? Comments are welcome. It's how we learn and hone our craft. #rotatorcuff #shoulderpain #shouldersurgery #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgery #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgeon #medtech #medicaldevices #innovation #technology #creativity #startups #health

Rotator cuff repair surgery has a 20% failure rate. Companies are designing new systems to address significant shortcomings in the procedure by creating better, longer-lasting repairs. The convergence of groundbreaking technologies, holistic approaches and a renewed focus on biologic solutions hold the promise of transformative experiences for surgeons and their patients and could reshape the future of rotator cuff repair. We spoke with Aevumed, Inc.'s Saif Khalil, Tetrous's Andy Carter and John Bojanowski and Inovedis GmbH's Stefan Dr. med. Welte about new technology in development and on the market. #orthopedics #rotatorcuff #sportsmedicine #biologics

Aevumed is honored to advance rotator cuff repairs with the PHANTOM-LP disruptive technology
Was able to try out Aevumed, Inc. lateral row anchors , Phantom-LP. This company has some “disruptor” technology for the shoulder space. Good job with this design . Christopher Dodson Matthew Garberina
