Advanced Technology in Soft Tissue Fixation

Soft Tissue Fixation Devices

Soft Tissue Fixation Devices are designed for fixation of soft tissue to bone in tenodesis, ligament reconstruction and tendon transfer procedures. The design of the Eclipse™ Soft Tissue Anchor eliminates the hassles associated with other tenodesis devices. Those Tenodesis Devices such as interference screws can have issues such as rotating or lacerating the tendon.

In the case of the Eclipse™ Soft Tissue Anchor, you can simply pull the trigger to watch it expand and lock the soft tissue to the bone. There are a number of associated benefits including:

  • Easy insertion

The compressed profile of the Eclipse Sheath mates with soft tissue in the tunnel to provide easy insertion. 

  • Non-rotational deployment

The non-rotational deployment approach preserves the surgeon’s preferred soft tissue orientation. 

  • Aids in facilitating healing

The Eclipse effectively compresses the soft tissue in the bone tunnel that helps promote successful soft tissue-to-bone healing.

  • Reduces soft tissue damage

The low profile surface texture in the fixation device reduces the soft tissue damage compared with interference screws that have aggressive threads.

  • All disposable instrumentation

The Soft Tissue Fixation Device is loaded on a disposable Deployment Gun for fast, easy insertion and handling. 

The points that are mentioned above are some of the best benefits of the Eclipse™ Soft Tissue Anchor.If you want to know more about Soft Tissue Fixation Devices, then get in touch with the professionals of MedShape Inc. at (404) 249-9155 or www.MedShape.com.

Everything You Need to Know about DynaClip Forte Compression Staple Bone Fixation System

Image
Prior to the launch of Nitinol-based DynaClip® Bone Fixation System in 2019, plate and screws devices had predominantly been used in foot surgeries for bone fixation. Although Nitinol staples have proven effective for many foot and ankle bone fixation procedures, their application was limited due to their inability to withstand the mechanical demands of certain environments. The introduction of DynaClip as a bone fixation system offered a robust solution to maintain compression and the implant’s structural integrity long after surgery. Its design ensures the distribution of stress away from the corners of the implant thus preventing implant failure. MedShape Inc.’s launch of DynaClip Forte® compression staple builds on the 2-leg DynaClip bone staple. DynaClip Forte is a 4-leg foot staple with a low profile which allows the implant to rest on the bone. Patients don’t have to deal with irritation or complications arising from prominent or bulky hardware. DynaClip Forte’s four-leg de...

What are the Stages of Charcot foot?

Image
  “And miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep”! To walk a million miles in your life, you need your feet to support you in every step that you take, but Charcot foot or Charcot arthropathy can be a cause of concern. We, at MedShape Inc , provide effective surgical solutions to help address foot deformities and pain caused by Charcot arthropathy so that your feet support you in the way you want them to support you. What is Charcot foot? Charcot arthropathy or Charcot foot is a disease that affects soft tissues, joints and bones in the feet. From near-numbness to numbness in one or both feet, Charcot foot weakens the bones making them prone to fractures and dislocation. If Charcot foot remains untreated, it can further lead to rocker-bottom foot(when the shape of the foot changes in which the arch extends out and down),disability and amputation. What are the stages of Charcot foot? The 3 stages of Charcot foot are: ·       ...

Intramedullary Nail Fixation - All You Need to Know

Image
Intramedullary nailing is a type of surgery that repairs broken or diseased bones to keep them stable and help facilitate fusion. In this surgery, a permanent nail, i.e., an intramedullary nail or a rod is placed in the centre of the bone, so it would enable you to put weight on the bone. Typically this bone fixation procedure is carried out mostly in the Femur, Tibia, hip, and Humerus. Evolution of Hindfoot Fusion Intramedullary Nail Fixation During the 1 st generation of hindfoot fusion nailing surgery, there was no application of compression; instead, the nails were locked into the bone with screws. The 2 nd generation nail fixation applied external manual compression through the frame. 3 rd generation introduced internal compression by using an internal screw to press against the calcaneal screw. However with all these earlier generation nails, the bones are able to retain compression after the instruments are removed but would lose compression upon any bone resorption or s...
