Paragon 28 Releases Precision MIS Bunion System

Paragon 28 has launched the Precision MIS bunion system, which surgeons can use for minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach to distal metatarsal osteotomies. The company will debut it at this year’s American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) meeting.
 
Precision MIS has an outrigger designed for controlled tri-planar correction, including metatarsal head translation and derotation, as well as adjusting the distal metatarsal angle. Its instrumentation facilitates a free-hand technique.
 
The system’s cannulated chamfer screws allow metatarsal head alignment near the first metatrsal’s cortex. The company said the MIS technique preserves the joint and screw placement can lower the chance of irritating the soft tissue.
 
Surgeon designed David Gordon, MD said Precision MIS’ jig is fixed both distally and proximally, which gives it stability and allows compression across the osteotomy to boost healing.
 
“The PRECISION MIS Bunion System by Paragon 28 really changes the landscape of minimally invasive hallux valgus correction, using a distal osteotomy,” Dr. Gordon told the press. “The design integrates all the elements essential for three-dimensional correction, including rotation.”
 
“At Paragon 28, we have always been focused on matching solutions to the needs of the patient, and each patient is unique,” added Paragon 28 CEO Albert DaCosta. “We are adding a great new option to our suite of Bunion solutions with the launch of our PRECISION MIS System that will help Paragon 28 and surgeons treat a broader array of patients with Hallux Valgus. I am proud of what our design surgeons and engineering team achieved in developing this system, which will bring benefits associated with minimally invasive surgery to our patients and surgeons in a reproducible way.”
 
Yesterday, the company announced release of its FJ2000 power console and burr system for a range of minimally invasive and open procedures in the foot and ankle.
