Medartis announced a favorable first clinical use of its StealthFix™ Intraosseous Fixation.
StealthFix is a zero-profile intraosseous fixation solution with multiple applications in the fore- and midfoot. Designed to provide the strength of a plate and screw with the speed and profile of a staple, the unique StealthFix I-beam design can also accommodate a crossing screw for additional compression and off-axis fixation. This rigid construct helps surgeons meet the fixation requirements of the patient without sacrificing soft tissue integrity.
The patented StealthFix system is designed to provide intraosseous compression through the implant, which provides strong bone-to-bone apposition, as well as its cortical barbs which are designed to prevent back-out and migration. Unlike standard plate and screw constructs, StealthFix’s zero profile design helps minimize soft tissue irritation while accommodating variations in the patient’s dorsal bony topography.
StealthFix is one of several products currently in limited launch by Medartis in the U.S.
