HEALING
ITS BEST
SHOT
The SmartShot® marrow access device is the latest first-line treatment for getting patients with cartilage defects back in action.
Used for standalone marrow stimulation therapy or with biologics, it delivers double the marrow access of traditional microfracture with less disruption to native bone in a novel, easy-to-use device.

INTRODUCING
SMARTSHOT
ANKLE
Our team of foot and ankle surgeons has designed a new SmartShot device for the unique challenges of treating cartilage lesions of the ankle. Discover how the SmartShot ankle device transforms your ability to treat lesions that have been highly challenging with legacy instruments.











TRANSFORMING
MARROW
STIMULATION
The SmartShot device creates clean, deep, precise holes, providing 2X greater access to stem cell-rich marrow, with 66% less bone disruption than traditional microfracture. Better access to healing marrow with less collateral damage: that’s smart.

BONE MARROW STIMULATION:
THE GOLD STANDARD
Because bone marrow is rich in stem cells, which are shown to aid in cartilage regeneration, bone marrow stimulation is increasingly recognized as the gold standard for treatment.



1.5X MORE CHANNELS
2X DEEPER
SmartShot provides more than double the exposure of subchondral marrow compared to legacy mallet microfracture—1.5X more channels and 2X deeper.
SmartShot | Mallet | SmartShot vs. Mallet | |
---|---|---|---|
Interior subchondral surface area per channel [mm2] | 22.2 | 15.0 | 148% |
Interior subchondral surface area per defect [mm2] | 183.8 | 86.4 | 213% |
66% LESS BONE
DISRUPTION
Because of the precision, small size and consistency of SmartShot channels, there is much less disruption to the surface and subchondral bone than with traditional microfracture.
SmartShot | Mallet | SmartShot vs. Mallet | |
---|---|---|---|
Average disruption area per hole (cortical) [mm2] | 0.8 | 3.1 | 24% |
Average disruption area per defect (cortical) [mm2] | 6.2 | 18.1 | 34% |
