OsteoMed InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System

For treatment of Talonavicular Joint Arthrodesis
Overview

The InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is a body temperature activated shape memory fixation system indicated for arthrodesis, osteotomies and skeletal fixation procedures. The use of Nitinol, a shape memory alloy, allows InstaFix to provide continuous and active bi-cortical compression at the surgical site.

Implant components in the system are sterile packed with fully disposable instrumentation. Staples in the system are offered in sizes from 8 x 8 mm to 30 x 20 mm to accommodate a wide range of procedures for applications in upper and lower extremities.

Indications for Use

InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation implants are intended for use in:

  • Fixation of Osteotomies of the Hand, Foot and Tibia
  • Arthrodesis of the Joints of the Hand and Foot
  • Fixation of Soft Tissue to Bone, as in the case of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation implants are also indicated for adjunctive fixation of small bone fragments of:

  • The Upper Extremity, such as the Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Clavicle and Scapula
  • The Lower Extremity, such as the Tibia, Fibula and the Femur
  • The Upper Torso, such as the Sternum and the Ribs
