Japan Tissue Engineering Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7774) ) has provided an announcement.

Japan Tissue Engineering announced that its autologous cultured cartilage product JACC will be newly covered by Japan’s national health insurance for an expanded indication that now includes knee osteoarthritis, effective January 1, 2026. JACC, already approved and reimbursed for traumatic cartilage defects and osteochondritis dissecans, becomes available as an insured regenerative treatment for patients whose knee osteoarthritis symptoms do not improve with conservative therapies and who have a defined minimum cartilage defect area, with reimbursement set at 1 million yen for the tissue transport set and 1.89 million yen for the cultured cartilage package. The broader insurance coverage is expected to increase patient access to advanced cartilage repair, strengthen J-TEC’s position in orthopedic regenerative medicine, and support the company’s strategy to expand its business while enhancing clinical outcomes and quality of life for an aging population with rising knee joint disorders.
