About Artelon

Its core technology is the FLEXBAND Dynamic Matrix, a patented, biodegradable co-polymer textile that augments ligament and tendon repairs by providing immediate strength, maintaining elasticity during motion, and gradually integrating into new tissue over 4-6 years. With over 60,000 implantations worldwide, the company targets the significant clinical need for improved outcomes in ankle instability and other joint soft tissue injuries. Its integration into Stryker provides substantial commercial and R&D resources for future growth.
