A breakthrough in bunion correction that allows suture tape to be securely and safely wrapped around the second metatarsal eliminating the need to drill through the bone. Thanks to the new 3D printing technology, the Bone Tether Plate is equipped with several unique design features including an overall geometry that closely matches the second metatarsal anatomy so that stresses are optimally distributed on the bone and a looped portion that allows suture tape to pass and securely hold the plate in place without the need for bone screws.
In addition, this company has received 510(k) clearance for its FastForward PEEK Screw System used in conjunction with the Bone Tether Plate.
