INTRODUCING MACI CARTILAGE REPAIR USING YOUR OWN CELLS
MACI uses your own cells to create durable repair tissue for knee cartilage

HOW MACI WORKS
A sample of your cartilage cells (chondrocytes) is sent to a laboratory and embedded on a special collagen membrane which your doctor then implants into your knee. The cartilage cells regenerate, forming a repair tissue that is able to fill the cartilage defect.
