Tissue reinforcement for rotator cuff repair
The Pitch-Patch is an implantable device constructed from a knitted fabric with integral eyelets. It is reinforced around its perimeter and around each eyelet to increase the security of suture attachment. It is available in two sizes. It should not be cut to size. It is made from non-absorbable polyester. The device is supplied sterile.
Indications
The Pitch-Patch is a single use device intended to be used for reinforcement of the rotator cuff following or during repair by suture or suture anchors, where weakness exists in the soft tissue.
The Pitch-Patch is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair. The Pitch-Patch reinforces the rotator cuff and provides a scaffold that is incorporated into the patient’s own tissue.
The Pitch-Patch is indicated for patients requiring reinforcement of the rotator cuff where either the tear cannot be completely repaired using normal methods and / or the quality of the soft tissue is poor.
