Solana Surgical has launched FuseFORCE SuperElastic Fixation System for use in the fusion of small joints in the foot and ankle, and hand and wrist.

The implant system consists of a sterile kit complete with super-elastic nitinol staples and all instruments required for implantation. An inserter is included that allows for the implant to be loaded without being handled by the surgeon. The FuseFORCE kit does not require hospital sterilization, nor does it require heat to activate.

“The super-elastic properties of the FuseFORE Implant allow the implant legs to act as springs, rather than relying on heat for activation. This built-in spring effect creates the compression and fixation needed for many procedures in the foot and hand,” Rebecca Wahl, vice president of research and development, stated in a company press release.
