Gramercy Extremity Orthopedics (GEO) receives U.S. Patent No. 10,206,725, which covers an approach for variable angle locking technology, adding to the intellectual property GEO has established in this area. This patent covers a design that allows a screw to be fixed at various angles and orientations using self-aligning washers within the plate hole. The washer holes line up with the screw to facilitate insertion and provide a large interface area with the screw threads, increasing the strength of the construct.
“The granting of our second U.S. variable angle locking patent continues to enhance GEO’s ability to bring orthopedic implant solutions to surgeon and patient needs,” said Michael P. Simpson, CEO and president of GEO. “This technology has the potential to improve the current variable angle locking technology in orthopedics.”
GEO was formed from the idea that there could exist a more cost effective, user-friendly way to supply orthopedic medical implants in today’s healthcare environment. This is accomplished through the use of technology, a groundbreaking point-of-sale delivery system and GEO designed best in class sterilized single use orthopedic implants and instruments. GEO is the only solution that provides a significant opportunity to lower real operating costs by creating efficiencies and controls throughout the delivery and consumption of orthopedic implants.
