LunaFIT Meniscal Body
A fiber-reinforced, load-bearing composite engineered to mimic the biomechanics of native meniscal tissue under multi-axial loading.
The LunaFlex Meniscus
A total replacement for the medial or lateral meniscus.
Fiber-reinforced, patient-matched, and built to stay in the joint.
The gap
The meniscus-deficient knee
LunaFlex is being developed for the meniscus-deficient knee — patients whose meniscal tissue cannot be repaired or has already been removed, and whose remaining options are resection, allograft transplant, or waiting for a knee replacement.
That leaves a large group of people with a joint that still works but is no longer protected, and a treatment ladder whose next rung is arthroplasty. LunaFlex is designed to sit between those two points.
The platform
Three integrated components. One device platform.
LunaLOCK Fixation System
A bridge fixed centrally to the tibia, combined with circumferential reinforcement and edge sutures for hoop strength and implant stability.
LunaMATCH Software
Intended to convert a patient's pre-operative imaging into the implant configuration for that individual knee, sized and planned in advance.

Design concept
How LunaFlex is intended to work
-
Reinforcement through the whole structure
A fiber-reinforced composite rather than a molded solid, carrying reinforcement in every direction so it behaves predictably under load from any angle.
-
Load spread across the joint, not concentrated
Engineered to distribute compressive force across the tibial plateau and to hold its shape under the combined compression and rotation of the knee.
-
Fixed centrally and at the outer rim
A central attachment to the tibia resists migration, while peripheral sutures into the joint capsule let the implant move together with the knee.
-
Matched to the individual patient
Designed to be patient-matched rather than fitted from a fixed set of sizes, with its geometry taken from that patient's own pre-operative imaging.
Design intent, not performance data. LunaFlex has not been evaluated by the FDA and no clinical claims are made or implied.
