Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluate the performance of the Agili-C™ in the repair of Cartilage and Osteochondral defects.

Description:

Agili-C™ implant is a CE marked, bi-phasic, porous resorbable tissue regeneration scaffold for the treatment of articular cartilage and/or osteochondral defects.

The Agili-C™ implant will be implanted using the Agili-Kit™ surgical toolset which is designed for the precise preparation of sites in cartilage and osteochondral defects, for implanting the Agili-C™ implant
