OSSArc™
Description & Technology
The exclusive OSSArc™ allows the surgeon to maintain the legs of the implant parallel to the fusion line while the back conforms to the sloping surfaces of the metaphyseal anatomy or uneven bony surfaces. Made of Nitinol, the OSSArc™ implant provides compression by morphing from an open shape to a closed shape upon activation to a safe, non-necrotic temperature. The implant then stores heat energy to behave like a spring, maintaining a powerful compressive force at body temperature. The result is a sloping implant that provides continuous compression through the active reduction of bone fragments throughout the healing process.
Features
- The first nitinol implant adapted for irregular bone surfaces and metaphyseal anatomy.
- Allows the surgeon to secure the legs of the implant parallel to the osteotomy or fusion interface.
- Sloping back creates a low profile construct that minimizes any potential soft tissue irritation by reducing the implant's prominence.
- Ideal for procedures, such as Akin osteotomies and Jones fractures in the foot and phalangeal and metacarpal fractures in the hand, that can be a challenge with other methods of fixation.
Common Procedures Using the OSSArc™
- Akin Procedure
- Jones Fracture Fixation
- First Metatarsal Base Wedge Osteotomy
