Cartiva, Inc. is a medical device company based in Alpharetta, Georgia, focusing on treatments related to cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. It has developed the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant, which is FDA-approved for treating osteoarthritis in the great toe joint. The implant uses a biomedical polymer designed to mimic natural cartilage and withstand repetitive joint loading while maintaining low friction to support smooth articulation. Clinical evidence for the device is described as the largest and most rigorous study for this condition, and the technology offers a joint-preserving alternative to fusion with notable pain relief and improved range of motion. Cartiva operates within the medical equipment manufacturing sector, and its platform is being explored for additional indications beyond the great toe. Near-term efforts include lesser metatarsal and CMC arthritis, with longer-term prospects in the ankle, elbow, and shoulder.
