CONMED’s Linvatec Business Unveils Five Devices

CONMED Corp.’s Linvatec business unit will launch five new medical devices in its sports medicine and capital product lines at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, according to the Largo, Fla., firm.

The Presto Bioabsorbable Suture Anchor System is an addition to CONMED Linvatec’s Shoulder Restoration System. The system is compatible with existing instrumentation and offers a 2.9-millimeter diameter anchor with single and double-loaded suture options. The Presto suture anchor utilizes the firm’s bioabsorbable Poly Lactic acid technology.

The Ergo Shaver Handpiece has several ergonomic design modifications. The ergonomically engineered handle provides balance and control for the surgeon when held traditionally, dagger style (often used in shoulder and hip procedures), or pencil grip. Other ergonomic design enhancements include a dual-function bell mounted blade collet and redesigned button pad, along with enhanced suction resolution.

The Liberator Plus Shaver Blade is a multi-function resection shaver blade for shoulder arthroscopy that provides soft tissue debridement, bone resection and sheathing. The cutting surface of this device is durable, enabling the effective resection of bone and soft tissue. The sheathing attributes of this device allow the shaver blade to be introduced into the resection area without disrupting surrounding normal tissue.

The PRO6350M Mpower 2 Battery Powered Oscillating Saw is an addition to the Mpower 2 battery power system for large bone and small bone orthopedic surgical applications. The design of this handpiece results in extended run time and reduced noise. The PRO6350M is designed with TRI-Seal Technology, which seals out moisture. Additionally, its ergonomic design provides a balanced and light-weight system.

The VP1600 Digital Documentation System is a 1080 pixel capture device that enables users to save, print and send the highest quality images via DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine).

CONMED is a manufacturer of multi-specialty endoscopic medical viceo systems and powered surgical instruments.
