Developer of surgical implants for treating distal extremity pathology, Centric Medical asserted that the U.S FDA has granted 510 (k) clearance to the Cannulated Screw Internal Fixation System, hence enabling Foot and Ankle reconstruction procedures.
Mariusz Knap, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Life Spine. “The system is extremely easy to use, low profile and offers partially and fully threaded options. I am incredibly proud that Centric Medical saw five 510K clearances in 2017 and I think a full cannulated screw selection is an integral step to a complete foot and ankle portfolio.”
The Cannulated Screw Internal Fixation System is a multi- component system made of titanium alloy consisting of varied diameters and lengths. FDA had approved a range of 3.5-7.5mm diameters complied by this system as the new options, which are specifically indicated for the forefoot, come in 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0mm diameters with headed and headless designs.
