New Device Inspired by Python Teeth Doubles Strength of Rotator Cuff Repairs
Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science

Columbia University researchers have developed a python-tooth-inspired device as a supplement to current rotator cuff suture repair, and found that it nearly doubled repair strength. Their biomimetic approach following the design of python teeth helps to reattach tendons to bone more securely. The device not only augments the strength of the repair but can also be customized to the patient.
