I’m happy to report that CartiHeal is back. This is a new treatment for cartilage injury that was FDA approved in 2022 and was initially launched by a large pharmaceutical firm. The banking crisis lead to a temporary halt as the company reverted to the original owner. Today I did the 13th (my third) and the 4th since the relaunch. CartiHeal Agili-C is an FDA approved medical device that can be used to
treat cartilage and joint surface lesions in the knee.
