Products
Iso-elastic polymer cerclage cable system
Non-metallic iso-elastic polymer cerclage cables and associated grips/plates for fracture and reconstructive fixation designed to provide engineered elasticity and reduce metal debris.
Compressed CO2 bone preparation (bone lavage) system
Sterile compressed CO2 delivery system for cleaning and drying bone surfaces prior to cementation to improve cement interdigitation and reduce marrow and blood contamination.
CT-based patient-matched partial knee implant
Custom unicompartmental patello-femoral implant manufactured from patient CT imaging to match individual anatomy for bone-sparing partial knee replacement.
Multi-directional tibial tubercle transfer instrumentation
Procedure-specific instrumentation kit supporting reproducible multi-directional tibial tubercle transfer and fixation.
Rigid cranial fixation and low-profile plating systems
Cranial plating hardware and fixation instruments engineered to enable rigid cranial closure with low-profile options.
Computer-assisted surgical navigation systems for joint guidance
Navigation systems and verification methods for guidance in joint replacement procedures, supporting optical tracking and intraoperative reliability checks.
