Ottowa-based Canica Design Inc. landed pre-market approval from the FDA for its DynaCleft device, a pre-surgical treatment for cleft lip/palate.
The DynaCleft is a cleft lip and palate treatment that uses an elastomeric band to bridge the cleft segments. The device slowly guides soft tissues and bone of the cleft lip and palate into a better position for repair, making the cleft repair surgery easier for both surgeon and baby.
