Enovis Showcasing New Foot, Ankle Offerings at ACFAS Annual Meeting

Enovis Corporation will exhibit the latest technologies from its Global Foot and Ankle business at the upcoming American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) annual meeting in Tampa, Fla., (Feb. 1-4). The company will feature products from its recent acquisitions of Novastep and the external fixation assets of D.N.E. LLC, along with the internally developed Evolve34 Lapidus Correction System, and the STAR+ Experience with patient-specific instrumentation.
 
“With a commitment to advancing technology and improving user experience, we are proud to share our newest technologies at this year’s meeting,” stated Gary Justak, president and general manager of Enovis Foot and Ankle. “Our recent acquisition of Novastep and the Pecaplasty Percutaneous Bunion Correction System will drive outcome improvements with an underserved patient population, and the MIS bunion surgery provides efficiency in the OR for the surgeon, while improving patient recovery times with less pain.”^1,2,3
 
Debuting at ACFAS is Evolve34, a bunion solution for Lapidus correction that allows surgeons to dial in deformity correction and select a hardware construct specific for the patient’s needs. Additionally, Enovis will introduce the new EF1 External Fixation product line, complimenting the flagship DynaNail and DynaClip offerings in the hindfoot segment.
 
Enovis also will highlight products from its foot and ankle continuum of care, including the following from its subsidiary DJO LLC: the Aircast AirSelect Elite Walking Boot; Regeneration OL 1000 Bone Stimulation device; and the Airlift PTTD, which features a versatile stirrup design that aids in treating posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD).
