The AutoCart surgical technique uses the patient's own cells to create a high-quality scaffold for cartilage repair, in combination with the Thrombinator system to rapidly enhance the clotting cascade and produce a thrombin clot to seal the AutoCart graft into the defect, optimizing biologic potential.

Scientific Support for the AutoCart™ Procedure

Compared to microfracture alone, single-stage autograft cartilage implantation provides superior patient outcomes and fewer negative outcomes associated with osteophyte formation.¹ Additionally, the AutoCart procedure has shown a low reoperation rate and satisfactory patient-reported outcomes at 2 years.^3,4
