Paragon 28 (FNA) Expands Syndesmotic Repair Line With New Launch
Read MoreHide Full Article
Paragon 28, Inc. , a leading innovator in orthopedic solutions, has unveiled its latest breakthrough — the Grappler R3INFORCE Extraosseous Repair System.
This system is set to advance syndesmotic injury repair, marking significant progress for Paragon 28 in terms of improving patient outcomes.
Addressing Syndesmotic Instability
The Grappler R3INFORCE System is specifically designed to restore stability to the anterior and posterior ligaments surrounding the ankle during fibula fracture repairs and high ankle sprains. This addresses a critical need in the field, as up to 25% of all ankle fractures and unstable high ankle sprains require implants for soft tissue healing.
Superior Efficiency
One of the key features of the Grappler R3INFORCE System is its Dynamic Anchor, which allows for micromotion in the repair, replicating the mechanics of native tissue. This dynamic functionality sets it apart from traditional static repair systems, offering surgeons a more physiological and anatomical reconstruction option.
Additionally, the system is highly synergistic with Paragon 28's existing offerings, such as the Grappler Knotless Sutures, providing surgeons with multiple configurations to tailor syndesmotic repair according to their treatment philosophies.
