Executive Summary
Imagine an implanted device that can be inserted through a small opening in the body but expands to a much larger size once inside. Morever, it's a permanent device that can adjust to changing conditions within the body following implantation. In other words, an active implant as opposed to a static implant. Such is the biocompatible, shape-memory polymer technology being developed by MedShape Solutions. The company is initially focused on sports medicine, with an emphasis in rotator cuff and shoulder repair and anterior cruciate ligament repair.

Tissue Repair Start-Ups Fill Orthopedics' Gaps
Technologies for total joint repair, the backbone of the orthopedics industry, have occupied most of the development resources of orthopedic companies, but there are gaps in the continuum of care when it comes to tendon and ligament repair. ACL reconstruction and rotator cuff repair thus are attractive niches for start-ups, worth anywhere from $500 million to $1 billion. Soft tissue repair expertise is outside the core skill-sets of big ortho, but those companies have been willing to partner and acquire smaller innovative players. Today, the opportunity is even more attractive; sports medicine--the realm of soft tissue repair--enjoys an economic resiliency not seen in total joint replacement. Ligament tears more closely resemble trauma applications, which must be treated as soon as possible.
