DeNovo NT is a scaffold-free proprietory minced cartilage ('Natural Allograft Tissue') in a fluid suspension, sold for repairing cartilage defects.
Particulated cartilage
The defect is cleaned, and a thin film of mouldable foil is used to determine its shape. The cartilage pieces are placed in the temporary foil mould and held together with fibrin glue, until it can be removed and placed into the defect and glued into place. DeNovo NT has been available for clinical use since 2007.
