Symmetry Medical Inc.  announced that its subsidiary Symmetry Surgical has launched the Bookwalter Femoral Elevator.

The femoral elevator supports direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) by providing a method to elevate and stabilize the resected femur during femoral canal broaching.  Built through a collaboration with surgeons and operating room professionals, the product has a table-mounted alternative to provide access and visualization in the minimally invasive DAA THA.

“Symmetry Surgical is focused on driving innovation and developing surgical instruments that help give our customers leading-edge alternatives in surgical procedures,” Ajey Atre, president of Symmetry Surgical, stated in a company press release. “The new Bookwalter^® Femoral Elevator demonstrates our commitment to developing surgical technologies designed to help surgeons and surgical staff deliver exceptional care around the world.”
