Orteq Bioengineering is a world leader in the field of biodegradable, polymer technology.
We create innovative healthcare products that encourage the body’s own natural healing process. Our implants promote the in-growth of new tissue in areas of the body where damaged tissue cannot regenerate. As the damaged tissue heals, the implant gradually dissolves and is removed naturally from the body.
We are very proud of (our) first product, Actifit™. It was specifically designed to help surgeons repair meniscus tears through key-hole (arthroscopic) surgery.
One of orthopaedic sports medicine’s biggest problems is repairing a damaged meniscus. Each year, there are about 1.5 million cases of meniscal tears in Western Europe and the United States. ActiFit, our new meniscus repair product addresses this substantial unmet medical need. After successful clinical trials, Actifit™ received its CE Mark in 2008 and is now available throughout Europe.
