In2Bones Global, Inc. announces the launch of its Hercules Suture Anchor System and AlloAid Wedges in the U.S.
These implant systems are designed for lower extremity surgeries in an effort to expand the company’s portfolio of pre-sterilized and OR-ready extremity products.
The Hercules Suture Anchor System gives surgeons the ability to choose between two PEEK-based implant families: Fully-Threaded and Knotless.
Special features of this system include radiolucent polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material with modulus similar to cortical bone and specific sizing for versatility of application. The system also comes with Knotless Suture Anchor which provides tensioning after implantation and BightForce Suture which as a soft, smooth surface that is gentle on soft-tissue and on surgeon gloves. The anchors are delivered sterile and already assembled.
“With the Hercules Suture Anchor System, In2Bones sees an opportunity for sales acceleration with soft tissue fixation for the multi-billion sports medicine market,” the company said in a statement.
The AlloAid Wedge system is designed for use during Cotton and Evans Osteotomies “…commonly performed during flatfoot reconstructive surgeries.” It comes with a pre-sterilized instrument set “…to allow precision implant sizing and placement.”
Both systems feature ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sutures that improve the durability of the repair.
According to the company, these new systems will not only increase OR efficiencies and reduce related costs, they will also reduce risk of post-operative surgical site infections.
Another benefit of using In2Bone plants, according to the company’s website, is that all of their implants carry a Unique Device Identifier label which the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid will soon be requiring for all patients with a small extremity implant.
In2Bones, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is a global medical device company that focuses on treatment of disorders and injuries of both the upper and lower extremities.
