Wright Medical released its Ortholoc 2 LapiFuse Triplanar Correction System, the company’s new solution for hallux valgus correction.
The new system is intended to decrease the likelihood of metatarsalgia development, as well as the need for surgical procedures, in the future “by giving surgeons the ability to debride the joint quickly and efficiently without taking wedge cuts to maintain bone length,” according to a press release from Wright Medical.
The Ortholoc system’s design reportedly allows it to increase fusion and lower relapse rates and provides predictable, consistent and reproducible correction. With the bunion correction system, implant-driven compression and joint stability are possible, and the need for cut guides is eliminated, according to the release.
“As leaders in foot and ankle, we are committed to constantly improving our existing technologies, as well as expanding into categories where we can fill an unmet need for our customers,” Guy Guglielmino, vice president of marketing for the company, said in the release. “We believe the introduction of the new Ortholoc 2 LapiFuse System will provide surgeons with more confidence in performing complex Lapidus procedures and ensure each surgery is tailored to an individual’s unique anatomy, ultimately improving patient outcomes.”
