Providing implant and technique familiarity with the active compression and alignment of nitinol
Current Solutions Have Limitations
Fixed length rigid implants, can lead to loss of compression during bone realignment or remodeling. This may lead to delayed healing or non-union.
Cannulated Screws
- Fixed length rigid screws
- May not maintain compression
Plates and Screws
- May be too rigid
- Soft tissue issues
Nitinol Staples
- Not intramedullary
- Sub-optimal plane of fixation
The Solution: Active Continuous Compression
Our proprietary technology is designed to apply Active Compression throughout the healing process to promote more rapid bone healing and a decrease in nonunion.
Unlike the current industry standard implants, compression from the ActivOrtho technology is designed to be maintained up to 2mm as bones adjust.
Our technology has application opportunities to a broad range of upper and lower extremity fractures, fusions, and osteotomies.
The ActivOrtho Technology
1.4mm K-Wire compatible
T15 Driver
Round atraumatic head
Active compression Self-limiting at 2mm elongation
Distal threads 1/3 of total length
Self-cutting and self-tapping tip
Insert ActivOrtho Implant
Turn ActivOrtho Implant to Bring Bone Fragments Together
Additional 2 Turns Elongate Center Section to Provide Active Compression
Center laser-cut section works to return to its original shorter length, creating active compression between bone fragments
