Wright Medical Group, Inc. announced a supply and distribution agreement with AlloSource for FUSIONFLEX Bone Matrix, a unique bone repair scaffold for use in primary fusion procedures of the foot and ankle, as well as other orthopedic bone grafting applications.

FUSIONFLEX graft is a flexible cancellous scaffold that acts as a carrier and matrix for new bone repair, according to a Wright Medical Group press release announcing the agreement. It offers the foot and ankle surgeon intraoperative flexibility to graft prepared fusion sites, provide carrying capacity for bone marrow aspirate, and create a matrix that will intimately conform to the fusion site.

“For more than 10 years, Wright Medical has been an integral partner in safely delivering life-saving and life-enhancing allograft products to surgeons for use on the patients that need them,” Kevin Cmunt, AlloSource executive vice president, stated in the release. “We look forward to collaborating on the FUSIONFLEX graft and offering a new solution to the challenges of bone grafting.”

Full commercial launch for FUSIONFLEX is planned for the first half of 2011. It will be made available in the United States and select international markets through Wright's direct and distributor-based sales force, according to the release.
