ReCerf Gains CE Mark: A Breakthrough in Ceramic Hip Resurfacing for Europe
MatOrtho, a leader in orthopedic innovation, is thrilled to announce that their ReCerf® Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty (HRA) has received the CE mark. This certification affirms that the product meets essential European safety and performance standards, marking a significant step forward in accessibility to advanced hip resurfacing treatments across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
Mike Tuke, MatOrtho’s founder, expressed profound enthusiasm about this achievement, stating, "This is more than a regulatory milestone. It represents two decades of focused effort to improve hip resurfacing through an advanced material." The journey to the ReCerf's approval involved the collaborative efforts with CeramTec A.G., resulting in the production of BIOLOX® delta, an all-ceramic resurfacing implant with outstanding clinical outcomes.
The Importance of Ceramic Technology
ReCerf stands as the world's first commercially available ceramic HRA, which was initially approved by Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration in November 2024. Since its first application in 2018, over 1,600 patients have benefited from this device. Feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive, boasting impressive satisfaction rates and remarkably low revision rates, demonstrating its effectiveness up to six years post-surgery.
One of the critical advantages of the ReCerf implant is its construction from BIOLOX® delta ceramic. This innovative material addresses concerns traditionally associated with metal-on-metal bearings, leading to a safer and more conducive environment for patient recovery. Furthermore, the ReCerf design conserves more of the patient's natural bone, which is paramount for promoting long-term orthopedic health.
Surgeon Support and Training
In addition to product availability, MatOrtho emphasizes the importance of responsible usage. The company is committed to structured education, meticulous patient selection, and ongoing clinical monitoring to ensure the highest standards in surgical performance. A peer-led training program has also been implemented, guaranteeing that surgeons are well-prepared to utilize this advanced technology safely and effectively.
The attainment of the CE mark for ReCerf not only enhances MatOrtho's portfolio but also affirms its ongoing commitment to innovation in the orthopedic field. It reinforces the company’s leading position in developing pioneering solutions engineered to restore joint function and facilitate active lifestyles for patients.
Conclusion
With the CE mark now in place, MatOrtho is poised to expand the availability of its cutting-edge ReCerf hip resurfacing technology. This advancement reflects the company’s dedication to improving patient outcomes and setting new benchmarks within the orthopedic community. The ReCerf hip resurfacing implant exemplifies a significant leap forward, offering both patients and orthopedic surgeons a promising option for effectively managing hip-related conditions.
