Chondroinduktive und implantierbare Substrate zur Knorpelheilung und -protektion

摘要

The invention relates to an implantable substrate for healing and protecting connective tissue, preferably cartilage, in the case of arthrosis. The invention also relates to systems and auxiliary means for activating stationary mesenchymal cells for regenerating the tissue. Fine connections are produced between the articular space and the bone marrow space. The articular surface is then covered with multi-layer materials which induce growing-in and maturing of cartilage precursor cells of the bone marrow.
