Saw another potential use for the collagen product today:

Sometimes when a patient needs a total shoulder but the surgeon feels the are too young and/or too active, they may use a technique that requires the use of an Achilles tendon allograft to cover the affected glenoid instead of using a polyethylene component to resurface the glenoid. Mimedx, based on their technology, can make a sheath configurations in different thicknesses and strengths, this could be a very viable option for this type of procedure. It would eliminate all the obvious problems with using an allograft and allow for a stronger more reliable and specific product that would be more better designed to a surgeons liking for manipulation, thickness and sizing.

Mimedx is a company that appears to have the right management in place. They have a groundbreaking and proprietary technology with almost limitless possibilities. Clear the financial and regulatory hurdles (which are still out there but according to the company being handled accordingly), and the sky is the limit.
