Biological Augmentation for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

The ZB-3™ Biologic Continuum for Rotator Cuff Repair is designed to provide surgeons with a comprehensive approach to biological augmentation during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroscopy. By combining trusted mechanical fixation with biologics, the platform offers three levels of augmentation designed to provide flexibility across varying rotator cuff repair techniques, tissue considerations, and surgical goals.

Whether addressing partial-thickness tears, full-thickness tears, or more complex rotator cuff tendon repair, the ZB-3 Biologic Continuum allows surgeons to select the appropriate level of biologic augmentation while maintaining familiar arthroscopic repair techniques.

Three Levels of the Continuum

Understanding the Biologic Continuum

Every Repair Is Different

Every arthroscopic rotator cuff repair presents unique clinical considerations. Factors such as tear characteristics, tendon quality, tissue integrity, patient factors, and surgical goals may influence repair planning.

Clinical Assessment Informs Surgical Planning

Surgeons consider multiple patient and tissue factors when planning rotator cuff repair. Assessment tools, including the Rotator Cuff Healing Index (RoHI)**, may help describe factors associated with healing potential and support clinical decision-making.

A Continuum, Not a One-Size-Fits-All

The ZB-3™ Biologic Continuum brings together complementary technologies to provide surgeons with options for biologic augmentation while maintaining familiar arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques.
