Trimmable and Flexible

Cartiform viable osteochondral allograft can be trimmed to fit your patient’s specific articular cartilage lesion. Templates and scorers are available to help prepare the graft and recipient site.

Scientific Support for Cartiform Allograft

Cartiform viable osteochondral allograft preserves the microstructure of 3 distinct cartilage zones1 (superficial, transitional, and radial), which is essential to supporting normal cartilage function.2
