Our Technology
A comprehensive solution bridging repair, monitoring, and rehabilitation
The 40% Challenge
The Clinical Gap
Rotator cuff repairs face a re-tear rate of up to 40%. Current solutions rely heavily on mechanical fixation but often fail at the tendon-bone interface.
Furthermore, once the patient leaves the OR, surgeons are "flying blind"—there is no existing solution for wirelessly detecting repair failure before it's too late.

Re-tear Rate
in rotator cuff repairs
Standard TOE repairs often fail at the critical tendon-bone interface
WingHeal™
Bio-inductive Reinforcement System
A hybrid solution combining a PEEK augment with a bio-inductive scaffold, designed to enhance the tendon-bone interface and promote biological healing.
Key Evidence
Increase in Biomechanical Stiffness
Compared to standard TOE repair in comparative goat models
- PEEK Augment: Mechanical reinforcement at the repair site
- Bio-inductive Scaffold: Promotes tissue integration
- Cost-effective: Streamlined alternative to complex biological grafts

Discovery-R™
Implantable Smart Sensing
Closing the loop on recovery. Discovery-R is a wireless sensor designed to be implanted alongside the repair, providing real-time data on tissue integrity.
It transforms post-op management from "wait and see" to "monitor and act"—enabling the early detection of failure before it's clinically apparent.
The Breakthrough
- Real-time tissue integrity monitoring
- Early detection of repair failure
- Wireless data transmission
- Integration with iRehab platform
Engineering Highlights
Biocompatible Materials
Gold conductors with PDMS elastic encapsulation on PEEK substrate — proven long-term implant safety
Validated Durability
180-day waterproof testing and 2,000+ compression cycles with no degradation in sensing quality
Minimal Cost Impact
Adds only ~$100 USD per implant — high clinical value at marginal cost increase
Innovative MEMS Process
Single-layer MEMS fabrication creates a dual-layer sensor; novel capacitor design reduces eddy-current loss, extending wireless sensing range
Status: Under Development
