Zimmer Biomet Announces Enhancements to Joint Reconstruction Portfolio for the Treatment of Patients with Significant Bone Loss
The Orthopedic Salvage System is the first and only limb salvage system utilizing OsseoTi®, a proprietary porous metal technology that is designed to mimic cancellous bone architecture1 and promote biologic fixation through tissue ingrowth.2 The Orthopedic Salvage System was first introduced in 2000 and has been successfully used in more than 15,000 patients to date worldwide.
The next-generation enhancements to the Orthopedic Salvage System include modern implant designs for the distal femur and diaphysis, small diameter Splined Stems and new implant components created with OsseoTi Porous Metal Technology:
- Updated Standard Size (3 cm and 5 cm) and Reduced Size (3 cm and 5 cm) distal femoral components featuring Vanguard® Patellofemoral Articulation
- Standard distal femoral component (3 cm) compatible to accept OsseoTi Femoral Sleeve Augments
- Tapered Diaphyseal Segments designed to accept Modular OsseoTi Diaphyseal Sleeve Augments
- Splined Stems to provide torsional stability through interference fit and splines
In addition, the Orthopedic Salvage System's surgical instrumentation platform now includes Universal Quick Connection, which offers surgeons greater ease-of-use and expandable implant provisionals to improve intraoperative speed and flexibility during certain complex limb salvage procedures.
"We're excited to further enhance the clinical utility of our revolutionary Orthopedic Salvage System with refreshed and new implant designs, improved surgical instrumentation as well as the utilization of OsseoTi Porous Metal technology to provide bone and soft tissue fixation often needed in limb salvage procedures," said
