The BEAR Implant is the first medical technology to demonstrate, with Level 1 clinical evidence, that it enables the body to heal its own torn ACL. Unlike reconstruction, which is the current standard of care, the BEAR Implant does not require a second surgical wound site to remove a healthy tendon from another part of the leg or the use of a donor tendon. The BEAR Implant acts as a bridge between the two ends of the torn ACL. The surgeon injects a small amount of the patient’s own blood into the implant and inserts it between the torn ends of the ACL in a minimally invasive procedure. The combination of the BEAR Implant and the patient’s blood enables the body to heal the torn ends of the ACL back together while maintaining the ACL’s original attachments to the femur and tibia. The BEAR Implant is resorbed by the body as the ACL heals. The BEAR Implant was granted De Novo Approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2020. It is indicated for skeletally mature patients at least 14 years of age with a complete rupture of the ACL, as confirmed by MRI. Patients must have an ACL stump attached to the tibia to facilitate the restoration. Visit miachortho.com for complete product information, including Instructions for Use.

All rights reserved. ML-1098 Rev A 7/2023 Sean Keyes, DO, AdventHealth: There's a lot of benefits to doing the BEAR procedure over an ACL reconstruction. With an ACL reconstruction, most of the time, especially in young people, we're taking their own tendons to make them a new ACL. So we're “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” And when you take tendons and ligaments from a different portion of the body, you know, patients lose strength, they have pain, they have other problems associated with that. With the BEAR procedure, you don't have any of those morbidities from graft harvest, you don't have that pain, you don't have that loss of muscle strength associated with the graft harvest. Another benefit to the BEAR procedure over an ACL reconstruction in the studies, it shows that those patients hurt less, they have greater return of muscle strength more quickly and they have more confidence in their knee at six and nine months when they're returning to sports, which is really important when you're treating ACL injuries. You know, when you treat ACL injuries, there is biology of healing and there's psychology of healing. And the psychology of healing for the BEAR Implant procedure seems to be superior when compared to an ACL reconstruction.
