Paragon 28 (NYSE: FNA), a global leader in orthopedic medical device innovation, has announced the release of several technology-based surgical systems that aim to improve patient outcomes and speed recovery time with minimally invasive procedures.
The company’s newly launched PRECISION MIS Bunion System provides surgeons with a guided technique for carrying out a distal metatarsal osteotomy. The system uses a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique and features specific instrumentation designed to achieve a controlled tri-planar correction, including adjustments to the distal metatarsal articular angle, translation, and derotation of the metatarsal head.
Meanwhile, the Englewood, Colorado-based firm also launched the Mister Tendon Harvester System, heralded as the first of its kind that permits surgeons to perform a distal cut of the flexor hallucis longus or flexor digitorum longus tendon. This approach allows for a successful harvest of a working length of tendon suitable for transfer. The system’s minimally invasive harvesting method is designed to promote improved healing and hasten convalescence.
In addition to launching the aforementioned systems, Paragon 28 has also introduced its Bun-Yo-Matic Lapidus Clamp System. The unique hardware and guide system is designed for Lapidus Bunion Procedures, and its release is currently limited to selected market divisions. It is reportedly the only bunion remedy available that permits intraoperative simulation of weight-bearing and allows for compression before hardware installation. This leading-edge approach enables surgeons to execute more efficient and reproducible bunion surgeries. The first surgeries employing the Bun-Yo-Matic system have been successfully completed in Orange County, California, and Seattle, Washington.
These innovations collectively represent not only advancements in orthopedic surgery but also Paragon 28’s commitment to minimizing patient discomfort during recovery, speeding up healing time, and increasing the efficiency and precision of surgical procedures.
