In 2019, Harbin Clinic Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Brad Bushnell received positive press for his work with a medical research study for the Regeneten Bioinductive Implant – a “patch” used in shoulder surgeries to repair torn rotator cuffs.

The implant is about the size of a postage stamp that’s used during minimally invasive surgeries for partial rotator cuff tears. Dr. Bushnell has completed more than 150 surgeries with the implant that integrates biologically into the injured tendon and accelerates healing and strengthening. Watch the video to learn more.
