Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc., a global leader in musculoskeletal healthcare, is showcasing its latest commercial offerings and previewing its next generation of technological innovations at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting this week in New Orleans, La.
"Zimmer Biomet has the most expansive and comprehensive portfolio of products and services in the industry," said Bryan C. Hanson, president and CEO of Zimmer Biomet. "We're looking forward to showcasing our innovative commercial offerings and connecting with orthopaedic professionals from around the world at AAOS."
The latest innovations being featured at the Zimmer Biomet booth (3351) include:
Biologics
The nSTRIDE APS Kit (ex-U.S. use only) is designed to produce a novel autologous therapy to treat pain and slow the progression of cartilage degradation and destruction in the knee. The nSTRIDE APS Kit is a cell-concentration system, which concentrates anti-inflammatory cytokines and anabolic growth factors to significantly decrease pain and promote cartilage health.
Bone Cement
The U.S. launch of Biomet and Refobacin Bone Cement R offerings built upon more than 30 years of successful clinical heritage,i offering high viscosity cement solutions that handle with ease in modern vacuum mixing systems.
Diagnostics
Synovasure comprehensive diagnostic panel for periprosthetic and native joint infection, which now includes proprietary Synovasure Microbial Identification technology to directly detect components of bacteria and fungi in synovial fluid. When used in combination with Synovasure Alpha Defensin, surgeons can quickly and easily determine patient response to infection and the type of organism present.
Extremities
Comprehensive Augmented Baseplate, a bone preserving glenoid solution featuring a circular baseplate design that enables simple positioning of the augment directly at the glenoid defect.
Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder, a clinically proven bone sparing solution for total shoulder arthroplasty designed for secure stemless fixation.
Foot and Ankle
Deformity correcting products available through our partnership with Nextremity Solutions, Inc., including the Nextra Hammertoe Correction System, the MSP Metatarsal Shortening System, Arcus Staple System and the Re+Line Bunion Correction System.
Subchondroplasty Procedure for foot and ankle surgery, a minimally invasive outpatient intervention that addresses the defects associated with subchondral bone marrow lesions.
Hips
Hip Preservation portfolio of options designed to treat conditions leading up to osteoarthritis and potentially prevent the need for total hip replacement.
G7 and Continuum acetabular shells, with advanced bearing and coating options including Dual Mobility and Trabecular Metal material to address indications from primary to revision surgery.
Echo Bi-Metric Microplasty hip stem, shortened to accommodate minimally invasive surgical approaches while remaining true to its metaphyseal loading, fit and fill stem design heritage.
Trabecular Metal acetabular shells, recently shown to be 21 percent less likely to be re-revised due to infection by the National Joint Registry (statistically significant, p-value=0.036).ii
Knees
Persona Partial Knee System, the next era in personalization for fixed bearing partial knee design, offering compartment-specific shapes and precise, efficient instrumentation.
Persona Primary Knee System Micro Sizes, providing surgeons more personalization options to help find the ideal fit in smaller stature patients.
Persona Trabecular Metal Tibia, addressing cementless knee applications by combining all the benefits of the Persona design with Zimmer Biomet's 20-year porous fixation technology.
OSS Orthopedic Salvage System, a comprehensive modular platform providing surgeons with intraoperative flexibility often required during limb salvage procedures.
Personalized Solutions
Comprehensive technology-based portfolio of guides, tools and software to support surgical planning, intraoperative guidance and optimal component placement.
X-PSI X-ray Patient Specific Instruments, built from proprietary software based on bone atlas data that allows conversion of 2D X-rays to a workable 3D model for improved efficiencies and a personalized experience.
Robotic Technology
Follow the progress of the ROSA Total Knee, including imaging, workflow, soft tissue adjustment and data collection.iii
Zimmer Biomet Signature Solutions
Zimmer Biomet Signature Solutions' unique platform creates value and savings for providers by offering a suite of products and solutions that strive to increase value, improve patient outcomes and deliver cost-effective care.
Spine
Mobi-C Cervical Disc, the only mobile core device with two-level superior overall clinical success over Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF).
Vitality Spinal Fixation System, an adaptable system designed for spinal fixation in complex thoracolumbar procedures.
Sports Medicine
Quattro Link, a knotless anchor that brings control and efficiency to soft tissue repair.
BioWick X, a rotator cuff implant that is an interpositional bioresorbable scaffold wick.
TCP Anchors, a full line of biocomposite rotator cuff suture anchors.
Gel-One Cross-Linked Hyaluronate, the first low-volume viscosupplement available in a single-injection formula.
VISCO-3 Sodium Hyaluronate, a three series hyaluronic acid (HA) product.
Surgical
IntelliCart System Duo Fluid Carts, the foundation for infectious waste technology with market-leading 34-liter fluid capacity, extra-quiet vacuum pump, clog-free suction manifolds, portable smoke evacuation and a robust cleaning process that uses a FDA-cleared low-level disinfection cycle when processing reservoir interiors.
Bactisure Wound Lavage, a clear, low-odor, aqueous solution designed to remove structurally resistant forms of bacteria, found in biofilms, on all wound types.
ActiveCare + S.F.T. System, a patented and proprietary technology that determines the venous phasic flow of each patient and synchronizes compression to the patient's individual flow pattern, reducing the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Trauma
FastFrame External Fixation System, a first-of-its-kind, pre-assembled sterile packed disposable external fixation system that minimizes the complexity, lengthiness and high costs from common external fixation procedures involving ankle spanning, knee spanning, distal radius and damage control applications.
THP Hip Fracture Plating System, an anatomic hip fracture plating system clinically designed to address the complications of femoral neck fracture fixation by combining the rotational control of three collapsible telescoping lag screws with the strength and stability of a side plate.
Founded in 1927 and headquartered in Warsaw, Ind., Zimmer Biomet designs, manufactures, and markets orthopedic reconstructive products; sports medicine, biologics, extremities and trauma products; office based technologies; spine, craniomaxillofacial and thoracic products; dental implants; and related surgical products. The company collaborates with healthcare professionals around the globe to advance the pace of innovation. Zimmer Biomet products and solutions help treat patients suffering from disorders of, or injuries to, bones, joints or supporting soft tissues. The company has operations in more than 25 countries around the world and sell products in more than 100 countries.
