Active Implants’ primary focus is to provide clinical validation of the NUsurface® Meniscus Implant in the U.S. for patients suffering from knee pain who are without viable treatment options. The NUsurface Meniscus Implant is made from medical grade plastic and, as a result of its unique materials, composite structure and design, does not require fixation to bone or soft tissues. The NUsurface Meniscus Implant mimics the function of the natural meniscus and redistributes loads transmitted across the knee joint. Clinical trials are underway in the U.S., Europe and Israel to verify the safety and effectiveness of the NUsurface Meniscus Implant. It has been used in Europe under CE Mark since 2008 and Israel since 2011.
