Step OSStaple™ & Step BOSS

Description & Technology

The Step OSStaple™ and Step BOSS implants conform to uneven bony surfaces while simultaneously offsetting and compressing bone fragments. Made of Nitinol, these implants provide compression by morphing from an open shape to a closed shape upon activation to a safe, non-necrotic temperature. The implants then store heat energy to behave like springs, maintaining a powerful compressive force at body temperature. The result is a stepped implant system that provides continuous compression through the active reduction of bone fragments throughout the healing process.

Features

The first and only implant of its kind able to simultaneously apply controllable dynamic residual compression at the site of fixation while offsetting the osteotomy with the utilization of the patented OSSforce™ Implant Controller.
The implants maximize bony union with the absence of hardware through the healing interface.
Actively reduces the site during healing, reducing the negative effects of resorption on primary bone healing while complementing Wolff's Law.

Features for Calcaneal Slide Osteotomies

By design, there is no interference with the growth plate in the skeletally immature.
Single incision, MIS approach by which the osteotomy and implant can be placed reducing post-operative heel pain and disruption of vascular supply.
The technique is comparatively less time-consuming and offers a more natural approach than that of tradition fixation.
Maintains precise correction with rigid step.
