Galene Integration - Patient Education Portal

Galene's success lies in its ability to mimic the properties of native cartilage. The porous titanium base allows for bone ingrowth, ensuring long-term fixation. The compressive and shear force properties of Galene closely match those of natural cartilage, protecting the joint during various movements. The procedure is surprisingly quick, as well as the recovery. It is definitely a revolutionary approach to alleviating osteoarthritis.

Galene Structure

At the heart of Galene's integration strategy lies its fusion with a titanium base. This integration ensures stability, providing a robust foundation for the biomimetic cartilage. Galene has a porous titanium base, which gets covered with ingrown bone. Such a structure promotes long-term fixation and contributes to the overall success of Galene's integration.

Cost-Effective Solution

Sparta Biomedical's Galene steps onto the stage as a cost-effective alternative to traditional biologics. Current treatments involving tissue harvesting or 3D printing can be quite high in cost. Galene's standardized approach and a range of size options break down barriers, making this groundbreaking procedure economically viable for a diverse range of patients.

Ormi Implant

Galene's debut takes shape through the Ormi implant, a revolutionary cartilage-mimicking device firmly anchored to a titanium base. The significance of this development is underscored by the FDA's Breakthrough Device Designation in 2021. Not resting on their laurels, Sparta Biomedical secured funding in September, propelling preparations for the Investigational Device Exemption study, set to start in early 2024.

Quick Procedure

We can draw parallels to a routine dental procedure here. Ormi’s implantation is simple and efficient. To ensure precise placement, the Ormi platform comes equipped with a custom instrumentation kit. Resembling a thumbtack, the device is seamlessly inserted during an outpatient procedure, minimizing disruption and maximizing efficiency within a timeframe of 30 to 45 minutes. Despite the expected post-surgical discomfort, patients are anticipated to regain mobility almost immediately after the procedure.

While Galene's integration shines in knee applications, its visionary potential extends beyond, into addressing joint issues in the toe, thumb, hip, shoulder, and ultimately becoming a cornerstone for total joint replacements. Unlike traditional regenerative medicine approaches that involve a long recovery period, Galene allows for immediate, painless weight-bearing. This property means a shift from prolonged rehabilitation to fast restoration of mobility and functionality.
