DURHAM, N.C. and MADISON, N.J., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparta Biopharma, Inc., a privately-held company, developing osteobiologics for sports medicine announces the availability of BioEnthesis
TM, the first-of-its-kind allograft that has both mineralized and demineralized layers which provide the requisite properties for healing and repair within the rotator cuff. According to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, there are more than 4.5 million physician visits per year for rotator cuff pain and dysfunction.
Osteobiologics have been used successfully over the last several decades. These allografts have facilitated the formation of functional bone tissue and the healing of bone. In that time, hundreds of allograft compositions and forms have served patients across multiple orthopedic ailments. However, their potential to recreate and regenerate bone at the intersection of soft and hard-tissue had not been fully explored. Sparta has combined insights from biology, pharmaceutical sciences, and tissue engineering to develop BioEnthesis for the repair and reconstruction of bone within the rotator cuff enthesis.
