Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED) announced that it expanded its orthopedic trauma product portfolio with several new system extensions.
The company said it received FDA 510(k) clearance for its first suture-based product, the Tensor suture button system. Additionally, it launched the next-generation Anthem II distal radius volar plates, Autobahn trochanteric nail PRO instruments and Captivate Sola headless screws over the course of this year.
Dr. Asif Ilyas of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital,was one of the first users of the new Anthem II volar plates.
“The contour of the Anthem II volar plates and comprehensive fixation options allow me to further customize my surgical plans and achieve an anatomic fit,” said Ilyas. “I am excited for the continued use of the Anthem distal radius system in my practice.”
Globus Medical designed the Tensor system to redefine suture management in the OR. It features a self-locking suture and an inserter with integrated tensioning handles. This system provides a streamlined approach for tensioning through a single incision.
The Anthem distal radius fracture system treats a wide variety of wrist fractures with anatomically contoured plates for intraoperative versatility. Its MonoAx locking technology enables a thin volar plate design to facilitate distal plate placement in complex, intra-articular fractures.
Autobahn treats a variety of petrochanteric femur fractures with efficient and streamlined surgical workflow. Captivate offers a flexible, efficient solution for fracture repair, bone reconstruction, osteotomy and arthrodesis procedures.
“The addition of these products to our growing orthopedic trauma portfolio signifies our continued responsiveness and dedication to surgeons and patients,” said John Mulcahy, Chief Commercial Officer and President of Orthopedics.
