MatOrtho's ReCerf® Receives CE Mark, Enhancing Hip Resurfacing in Europe

MatOrtho's ReCerf® Achieves CE Mark Certification

In a significant development for orthopedic surgery, MatOrtho® has announced that its hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) device, ReCerf®, has received the CE mark. This certification not only ensures compliance with stringent European safety and performance standards but also facilitates broader access to this innovative treatment option across Europe, including the UK and internationally.

Importance of CE Marking

The CE mark signifies that the ReCerf® device adheres to European regulations, thus paving the way for more patients to benefit from this advanced hip resurfacing alternative. Mike Tuke, Founder of MatOrtho, commented on this achievement, stating that it represents two decades of dedicated efforts to enhance hip resurfacing procedures using advanced materials. He emphasized that this milestone reflects the extensive collaboration with CeramTec A.G. in developing ReCerf®, a fully ceramic implant that has shown superior performance outcomes for patients.

Innovative Material Solution

Made from BIOLOX® delta ceramic, ReCerf® resolves many of the issues historically linked with metal-on-metal bearings. This material choice not only reduces complications significantly but also helps to preserve more of the patient's natural bone structure, making it an appealing option for both surgeons and patients alike. Since its introduction, over 1,600 patients have undergone procedures with the ReCerf® device, reporting positive results, and maintaining a low revision rate up to six years post-implantation.

Commitment to Safe Adoption

With the CE mark in hand, MatOrtho has made a steadfast commitment to responsible adoption of the ReCerf®. This includes rigorous patient selection criteria, structured training programs for surgeons, and continuous clinical monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy. The company has already initiated peer-guided training programs aimed at equipping surgeons with the necessary skills to utilize this innovative implant effectively.

Strengthening Market Presence

The successful certification of ReCerf® not only reinforces MatOrtho's leadership position in the orthopedic solutions market but also aligns with its strategic growth objectives. The company aims to set new benchmarks in joint replacement technologies, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and enabling them to maintain active lifestyles.
