Paragon 28 introduced the Grappler R3INFORCE Extraosseous Repair System, designed to restore stability to the anterior and posterior ligaments surrounding the ankle during fibula fracture repairs and high ankle sprains.
Upon determination of syndesmotic instability, Grappler R3INFORCE Anchors are placed in plate holes or other anatomic locations where pre-loaded suture tape can be routed and tensioned to address the injured ligament or ligaments. The Dynamic Anchor allows for micromotion in the repair to better replicate the mechanics of the native tissue.
This system is synergistic with Paragon 28’s existing offerings and can utilize the recently launched Grappler Knotless Sutures. This compatibility allows for multiple configurations for surgeons to cater their syndesmotic repair to their own treatment philosophies.
Paragon 28’s CEO, Albert DaCosta, commented, “With up to 25% of all ankle fractures as well as unstable high ankle sprains requiring implants to facilitate soft tissue healing, syndesmotic stabilization is a major priority for Paragon 28 and an opportunity for us to improve patients’ recoveries. In launching the Grappler® R3INFORCE™ System and Dynamic Knotless Anchor, we are adding to our comprehensive and growing suite of novel solutions designed specifically to treat injuries to the highly complex syndesmosis.”
