Projectdetails

Introduction

Hy2Care brings a regenerative Injectable Hydrogel, of joint- and cartilage-mimicking composition, that is used to treat damaged cartilage. The cartilage defects are easily filled with a syringe during a standard one-time arthroscopy.

Mechanism of Action

The hydrogel fills the defect, prevents ingrowth of scar tissue, and allows the body to heal itself by creating true Hyaline cartilage, ensuring optimal regenerated tissue.

Benefits of the Hydrogel

  1. The high-quality regeneration provides the basis for a long-lasting repair, postponing or even preventing the onset of osteoarthritis.
  2. The gel binds covalently to the surrounding cartilage, ensuring integration of the new tissue.
  3. Revalidation is fast as the cartilage regrowth follows the degradation of the gel.

Economic Impact

The lasting repair not only prevents additional secondary treatments but also pain, disability, and escalating follow-on costs.

Recognition

In submission of the last cut-off of the EIC in October 2020, Hy2Care scored a 14.0 and received the seal of excellence.
