Anika
TACTOSET: An injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA)-enhanced bone repair therapy developed for the treatment of bone voids and other bone defects of the skeletal system caused by trauma or age-related degeneration. Subchondral bone voids are extremely painful. This injectable bone substitute material is injected directly into the bone, where it fills the void, hardens, and is resorbed and replaced by regenerated bone during the healing process. Tactoset is Anika’s first surgically-delivered regenerative therapy in the US. It is provided in a kit with two components (a liquid solution in a pre-loaded syringe and a dry powder) that must be mixed intra-operatively using the supplied mixing system to form a cohesive paste prior to administration.
