The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues patent to Fusion Orthopedics LLC for the surgically implantable DynaBridge medical device. The now patented DynaBridge implant is a comprehensive nitinol shape memory implant system with a design that is engineered to combine high strength with uniform compression. The nitinol material exhibits continuous elastic properties which exert force across a fusion site both before and after resorption or movement. Unlike many other nitinol implants currently being utilized on the market, the implant does not require heating nor freezing.
The system is indicated for fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis in the hand and foot. The comprehensive offering comprises 15 unique implants in both gamma sterile packaged and steam sterile tray based configurations to address a spectrum of surgical indications.
The revolutionary DynaBridge Inserter provides two functionalities in one. Load and insert the implant with a convenient press and release design. Use the provided guide holes to prepare for staple insertion. The inserter also reduces waste and expense with its reusable design..
The system comes in both a simple sterile system and is available in a steam sterilized tray environment alongside our signature FuzeFix screws. The staple provides reproducible and constant bicortical compression with minimal disruption to the osteotomy or fracture site. Fusion has made significant strides developing best in class instrumentation for staple delivery with both a single use and reusable option.
