OrthoEdge, a leading orthopedic clinic in Jacksonville, FL is excited to offer BioBrace, an innovative implant that is transforming soft tissue repair. BioBrace is the first and only FDA-cleared implant that provides both structural support and encourages natural tissue regrowth, making it a game-changer for anyone recovering from tendon and ligament injuries.
Dr. Michael Adams, a highly respected sports medicine specialist and orthopedic surgeon at OrthoEdge, is one of the first doctors on the First Coast to use BioBrace. This advanced implant is made from a unique combination of collagen and bioresorbable fibers, providing nearly 150 pounds of strength while optimizing healing. It can be used in over 45 procedures, including rotator cuff tears, ACL tears, and many more.
We are excited to bring BioBrace to our patients and athletes on the First Coast,” said Dr. Adams. “Unlike traditional implants, BioBrace provides immediate strength while also supporting long-term healing through the generation of new tissue.
What sets BioBrace apart is its dual function: it offers mechanical reinforcement for up to 2 years while naturally resorbing, providing supplemental strength and rapid adsorption of blood or other fluids around the injury site. This means a stronger, more reliable recovery with a lower risk of complications and need for follow-up surgery.
At OrthoEdge, we are always looking for ways to improve surgical outcomes and recovery times, especially for the athletes we see,” Dr. Adams added. “Rotator cuff repairs are one of the most common arthroscopic procedures performed globally. BioBrace has the power to help reduce re-tears that are common with massive tears and revision tears.
By incorporating BioBrace into its open and arthroscopic procedures, OrthoEdge continues to lead the way in orthopedic innovation. If you’re dealing with a tendon or ligament injury, schedule an appointment with Dr. Adams and the OrthoEdge team to see if this groundbreaking implant can help you get back to doing what you love.
