3. MedShape launches DynaFrame CF deployment system
MedShape announced in a July 11 press release that it has launched its DynaFrame CF Deployment system for implanting the company’s DynaNail TTC Fusion System in tibiotalocalcaneal fusion surgery. The deployment system is made out of carbon-fiber filled polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The launch of the new system also included new DynaNail instrument sets. MedShape’s DynaFrame CF Deployment System has 18 times more rigidity than the system’s original PEEK material. It also has several geometry changes to add more clearance to the distal end of the DynaFrame and its posterior-anterior targeting arm for larger patient anatomies. The changes to the system help reduce issues with drill targeting so that procedures are faster and simpler.
