Orthofix Medical commenced the full U.S. commercial launch and announced completion of the first cases with the Galaxy Fixation Gemini system. The stable external fixation system is provided in several sterile procedure kit configurations as an off-the-shelf solution to treat fractures that result from trauma in the lower and upper limbs.
The Galaxy Fixation Gemini ankle kit is the only pin-to-bar system with specific clamps available in a sterile kit configuration, giving surgeons more efficient solutions in lower extremity trauma situations where time is an important factor. The ankle kit includes a double multiscrew clamp to facilitate rapid insertion of tibial half-pins, and is complemented by the foot support and first metatarsal sterile kits when a more robust construct is desired.
Orthofix further expanded its sterile kit offerings with the global launch of the CalcFix Plus Calcaneal Minifixator System earlier this year. CalcFix Plus represents the latest version of the original CalcFix Fixator device designed to treat calcaneal fractures using a more minimally invasive external fixation approach compared with internal fixation, and includes updates to the design that reduce the number of operative steps to apply.
