Vilex Staples, Hammertoe Correction, & Ankle Arthrodesis

A stronger, low profile staple designed for speed and surgical efficiency

Nitinex System Features and Benefits

• Shape memory nitinol implants provide constant, active compression, with no heat activation
• Barbed implant designed to facilitate insertion and resist back-out
• Low profile flat implant bridge designed to reduce soft tissue irritation
• A stronger, more durable compression staple versus leading competitor
• Market leading range of implant sizes from 8-25mm to address most clinical indications in hand and foot fixation including various bicortical implant designs.
• Implant caddy offers surgeon visualization of implant during implant selection
• Reduced OR times, no instrumentation waste or disposal costs
• Calibrated orthopaedic instrumentation and color coded system offer easier OR identification

The HammerFUZE Hammertoe Correction System features cannulated self-drilling, self-tapping, straight and angled titanium implants with fully cannulated instrumentation.

Cannulated Instrumentation

The HammerFUZE System instrumentation includes cannulated instrumentation for a simplified surgical approach: stop-drill, broach, and driver.

• Stop drill offers precise drill depth for distal end of implant
• Sharpened broach matches the profile of distal end of implant
• Driver designed for implantation of straight and angled implants and laser-marked to identify proper final implant orientation.
• Fully cannulated system assists in precise positioning and ergonomic instrument design offers surgeons comfort.

Straight and Angled Cannulated Implants

Optional wire placement across the arthrodesis allows pass-through into the metatarsal for additional stability

CompTWIST Technique

HammerFUZE implants feature a helical distal barb design which is designed to offer additional intraoperative compression of the arthrodesis via the optional CompTWIST technique.

The FUZE TTC ankle arthrodesis nail is a dual thread compression screw and intramedulary nail in one device, providing simultaneous compression of tibiotalar and talocalcaneal joints.

FUZE System Features and Benefits

Implant combines compression capability of a screw with the structural strength of an intramedullary nail

Unparalleled compression, up to 9mm, in ankle fusion for trauma, diabetic Charcot foot reconstruction, and arthritic patients

Six implant sizes to address most clinical requirements

Precise targeting guide designed to assist surgeon in cross-screw placement

Minimally invasive procedure

Corex is an easy to use, minimally invasive, Sterile packaged bone harvester, with benefits that include:

A time-tested, financially responsible alternative utilizing the patient’s natural bone tissue versus costly bone substitutes or biologics with relatively little clinical validation

Provides autogenous bone with all growth factors required for bone regeneration

Suitable for harvesting from the calcaneus, proximal tibia, distal femur, proximal femur and the iliac crest

Designed to reduce operative time, blood loss and donor site morbitity

Patented capture mechanism for bone harvesting via small cortical access “window” created by attached trocar.

7mm and 9mm disposable single patient use
