Hyalofast is a biodegradable substance used as scaffolding for joint repair. It is currently being used in the repair of chondral and osteochondral tears. It traps stem cells and harnesses their talent for splitting into both cartilage and bone. Hyalofast is sterilized and can be stored in a cool, dry place. It has a four year shelf life. It is considered both effective, biologically active, easy to use, bioresorbable, and safe for orthopaedic surgical use. It’s use facilitates one-step cartilage repair.
