Tyber Medical has earned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its new Distal Radius Plating system.
The company’s design covers a variety of fractures, fusions, non-unions, malunions, or osteotomies of the radius, ulna, and hand.
The Distal Radius Plating system, according to the company, maintains stability and orientation in the anteroposterior plane using a dynamic grouping of plate length options.
"The Tyber Medical Distal Radius System provides an innovative approach to address one of the most common fractures. Additionally, the enhanced ergonomic design delivers a solution to reduce flexor tendon irritation, a common post operative concern," said Tyber Medical CEO and president Jeff Tyber.
"Our engineering team did a great job keeping the design under the watershed line while maintaining low prominence and the ability to reach the radial styloid,” added Tyber chief technology officer David Hannah. “They recognized the need for an additional locking head size to accomplish this in the flexor tendon and narrow volar plates, and now we get to add that locking mechanism to our portfolio."
