DePuy Synthes announced it has launched the Maxframe multiaxial correction system, an external fixation device to correct bone or soft tissue deformities in the arm, leg, foot or ankle, according to a company press release.
The Maxframe uses 3-D planning software to improve the accuracy of deformity correction planning, which can reduce treatment time and costs and improve procedural efficiency. Patients adjust struts on the device based on their customized treatment plan. With the newly introduced Assure-Strut technology, there is an audible click each time the strut locks into place.
“There is a significant unmet need for treatment options that reduce both the burden to patients with limb deformities as well as surgical complexity,” I.V. Hall, worldwide platform leader for trauma, CMF, biomaterials and veterinary portfolios at DePuy Synthes, said in the release. “With the launch of the Maxframe system, we are building on our long history of innovation, excellence in service and support from surgeons with unique 3-D planning software and digital tools that help address these needs and enhance patient and surgeon satisfaction.”
