In our customer platform, the surgeon can view:
➡ a virtual 3D model of the patient's knee
➡ the size and depth of the cartilage and underlying bone defects
➡ the suggested implant design and position
At surgery, the visualisation can also be used to identify the appropriate position of the drill guide.
Thanks to its personalised design, Episealer® Knee is suitable for both condyle and trochlea defects.
The implant is based on the patient’s unique anatomy and the size of the defect.

➡ Our Episealer® knee implants are available for the knee femoral condyles (both medial and lateral), the knee trochlea area, or both!
➡ Episealer® Talus can be used on both the medial and lateral side of the talar dome.
➡ The Episealer® Patellofemoral System consists of personalised implants on both femur and patella, preserving as much bone as possible by treating only the damaged areas of the joint.
➡ The implants are designed based on the patient’s unique anatomy.

Many surgeons use Episealer® as part of their treatment portfolio. Biological alternatives or a prosthesis are not always the best options for treating osteochondral and chondral lesions in the knee when considering the patient's indications, age, and activity level.
This is what some of our experienced users have to say.
Full surgeon testimonials can be found on our website >> https://episurf.com/patient/surgeon-testimonials/
We use CT or MR scans to create a virtual 3D model of the patient’s ankle and a Damage Marking Report that visualises the defect and suggests the position, size, and design of the implant.
We personalise the implant for the patient and help the surgeon preplan the surgery!

Short statment from Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Clemens Kösters on what he thinks about the Episealer® procedure.
“You would never change four wheels of a car if only one of them has a puncture.”
Dr. med. Christan Kothny explains that sometimes a partial or total knee replacement isn’t necessary. Episealer® can be a solution when the patient “only” has one lesion.
Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. Clemens Kösters summarises the results of a study conducted last year. The study compared patient satisfaction and pain reduction in patients with one Episealer® implant to patients with two or three Episealer® implants in one knee.
Did you know that it’s not only the Episealer® implants that are personalised? The surgical instruments are also adapted to each patient.
"Patients go back to normal in a very short period of time".
Dr. med. Christan Kothny describes the recovery period for his Episealer® knee patients and how they've bounced back after the surgery.
Knee pain often negatively affects a person’s life physically and mentally. You might be unable to play with your children, work, or do house chores.
When this pain derives from a bone or cartilage lesion, and you are what we call a “gap patient” i.e., too old for biological treatment alternatives and too young for a knee replacement. Then, an Episealer® implant might be a solution. Check with your doctor to see if this could be a suitable treatment alternative for you.
Side note – the guy in the video has an Episealer® in one of his knees.
Dr. med. Christian Kothny on when and why he added the Episealer® knee implants to his treatment portfolio.
Our technology provides personalised solutions based on the patient’s anatomy.
The patient’s MR images are used to create a detailed virtual model of the knee, forming the base of Episurf’s Damage Marking Report (DMR).
Interview with Dr Paul Codjoe
Dr Paul Codjoe from New Jersey on why he thinks Episurf’s products will “be a wave of the future,” and why every surgeon who does knee surgery should be taking a look.
Are you used to living an active life, but your knee pain now gets in the way? If it’s due to a bone or cartilage defect, an Episealer® implant might be a solution.
Many Episealer® patients have gone from knee pain and difficulties doing daily activities to living an active life again.
Ask your doctor to see if an Episealer® implant could be a suitable option for you.
