Ever wonder what makes Anika unique? 🧬 It all starts with hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found throughout your body that's essential for joint health. But we didn't stop there. We have transformed our HA gel into a solid biomaterial, Hyaff, our proprietary technology found in Hyalofast and Integrity that's been trusted globally for over years. This innovation is the foundation of everything we do, from cartilage repair to tendon healing. Learn more:

Cold weather can make joint stiffness worse. But the habits that protect your heart can also support your joints.

Staying active, eating anti-inflammatory foods, and keeping circulation strong all play a role in joint health. Especially during winter when we tend to move less and feel stiffer.

Sometimes, an injury makes you wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again.

Valerie knows that feeling. As a salon owner and stylist, she relies on her arms every single day. When shoulder pain made it impossible to lift her right arm, she worried she might lose the career she built, and the active lifestyle she loved.

Dr. Christopher Baker diagnosed a torn rotator cuff and recommended the Integrity Implant to augment the repair. This hyaluronic acid-based scaffold works with your body to support the healing of tendon tissue and promote more natural healing.

One year later, Valerie is back to work, back on the pickleball court, and back to paddleboarding, pain-free.

If you're facing tendon repair, ask your surgeon about biologic options like Integrity. Innovation is changing what recovery can look like.

When shoulder pain made it impossible to lift her right arm, she feared she might lose her ability to work and do what she loves.

Behind every successful surgery is a team of caring professionals and perioperative nurses are at the center of it all.

Their expertise keeps the OR running smoothly, their precision supports every surgeon, and their compassion supports every patient.

This week, we’re celebrating Perioperative Nurse Week and saying thank you to the nurses who make innovation in healing possible.

Most people think of hyaluronic acid (HA) as something used in skincare products. But in orthopedics, it plays a different role.

Hyaluronic acid plays a vital role in how tissue heals and rebuilds. It encourages the growth of new cells and helps them become the specialized cells needed to repair tendons and cartilage.

It’s incredible to see how the same molecule that keeps our skin hydrated also helps drive the science behind regenerative healing.

Few injuries stop athletes in their tracks like a torn or ruptured Achilles tendon. Healing can take many weeks with physical therapy often starting between 6-8 weeks following surgery. Luckily, innovation is changing what recovery can look like.

The Integrity Implant is transforming Achilles tendon repair with a strong, biological HA-based scaffold that works with the body to support more natural healing. In a recent case, a patient was pain-free and ready to begin physical therapy just five weeks after their Achilles repair.
