Paragon 28 added a novel Right-Angle Drill to the APEX 3D Total Ankle Replacement system, designed to improve tibia preparation prior to the implantation of the APEX 3D tibia implant. The Right-Angle Drill utilizes a linear guide to precisely drill vertical holes into the tibia for ideal peg placement and a highly stable tibia implant interface.
The release of the Right-Angle Drill continues a series of instrumentation enhancements to the APEX 3D Total Ankle Replacement System, which includes the recently released Polishing Blocks, Square Tip Drill and next-generation Off-Set Impaction Handle. These recent enhancements were primarily designed to improve tibia preparation, thereby contributing to the long-term success of ankle replacements and ultimately improving surgeon experience and patient outcomes.
Albert DaCosta, CEO and Chairman of Paragon 28, said, “The Right-Angle Drill is a critical step towards addressing tibia implant loosening, the primary cause of total ankle replacement failure. This drill enables surgeons with a more precise preparation and promotes better implant integration, which we believe will result in improved long-term outcomes for foot and ankle patients.”
