2. The method is designed to expedite processing, maximize tissue use and allow for the use of a specialized laser technology in a clean room setting.

3. ProChondrixCR is a cartilage restoration therapy. “Laser etching stimulates the cartilage regenerative system while the graft replaces the missing cartilage in superficial defects down to the bone level,” said AlloSource Senior Medical Director Ross Wilkins, MD.
