New OrthoHelix Products

In an email released August 1st, OrthoHelix Surgical Designs has released information on two new products set for launch in the United States. The first product displayed was the OrthoHelix Distal Tibial Plate for procedures including Ankle Fractures, Medial Malleolar Fractures, or Pilon Fractures. The new OrthoHelix Distal Tibial Plate is anatomically contoured to sit anteriorly to avoid contact with the posterior tibial tendon and is intended to stablize fractures of the medial malleolus.

The second product set for launch is the OrthoHelix Mini MaxLock Extreme ISO Plate. This new plate, also known as the Intraosseous Sliding Osteotomy Plate, is geared towards plate fixation of a distal osteotomy for Hallux Abducto Valgus surgery. The first of its kind, this plate allows two screws into the capital fragment while at the same trime permitting the introduction of an interfragmentary screw into the body of the metatarsal with their PocketLock Technology. This is similar to the MMI Anchorage CP Plates for 1st MPJ Arthrodesis and Lapidus Arthrodesis that recently hit the open market, yet this ISO plate is the first of its kind for a distal bunion procedure. Stay tuned for when the full specs are released and our full review of these new products.
