“The Tyber Medical Distal Radius System provides an innovative approach to address one of the most common fractures,” Jeff Tyber, president of CEO of Tyber Medical, said in the release. “Additionally, the enhanced ergonomic design delivers a solution to reduce flexor tendon irritation, a common postoperative concern,” Tyber said.

“Our engineering team did a great job keeping the design under the watershed line while maintaining low prominence and the ability to reach the radial styloid,” David Hannah, chief technology officer of Tyber Medical, said in the release. “They recognized the need for an additional locking head size to accomplish this in the flexor tendon and narrow volar plates, and now we get to add that locking mechanism to our portfolio,” Hannah added.
