OSSArc (Prod 8381)
About OSSArc (Prod 8381)
The OSSArc™ allows the surgeon to secure the legs of the implant parallel to the osteotomy or fusion interface while its unique sloping back creates a low profile construct that minimizes any potential soft tissue irritation by reducing the implant's prominence. Made of nitinol, a biocompatible alloy possessing shape memory and super-elastic properties, the OSSArc™ implant is inserted while in its malleable state at room temperature. Using the patented OSSforce™ Implant Controller, the implant is safely heated above body temperature. During this process, the implant's legs close and its s-shaped back shrinks providing uniform compression while the alloy's structure transforms into a state approximately 20% stronger than 316L stainless steel. Due to nitinol's unique properties, the implant continues to maintain a compressive force over time through long-term active reduction.Previously available from BioMedical Enterprises Inc. (BME).
