Orthobiologics are natural substances like blood components and growth factors that are harnessed to aid in the treatment of orthopedic injuries or conditions.

They may be used to replace lost tissue, stimulate regeneration and healing, reduce pain and inflammation and improve joint function, and modify the arthritic or regenerative process.

Orthobiologics are indicated for the treatment of articular cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis, and tendon injuries.
