RELJA Innovations has launched the RELJA Clamp, a first-of-its kind radiolucent, single-use bunion reduction clamp. Designed by surgeons for surgeons, the RELJA Clamp is mainly used for the lapidus bunion procedure but can also be used for MIS bunion procedures, lisfranc fracture reductions, and midfoot and hindfoot fusions.
Simple and intuitive by design, the RELJA Clamp is applied in less than four minutes. The patented RELJA Clamp for the lapidus procedure allows for frontal, transverse and sagittal planes correction as well as fusion site compression without incisions. The product is agnostic, available with a complete foot plating system as the RELJA Lapidus System or can be used independently with alternate plates and screws.
"The fact that this clamp is radiolucent, corrects in all planes and is applied in less than four minutes is a game-changer in the bunion space," RELJA Innovations Founder/CEO Rob Amiot, M.D., said. Amiot is a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon in Milwaukee, Wis.
The RELJA Clamp and RELJA Lapidus System are complementary to RELJA Innovation's other bunion surgical offerings including the RELJA MIS Chevron Precision Bunion System, touted as the only chevron-style MIS solution and RELJA MTP Plates, Lapidus Plates, and screws.
"This is easier, faster and better than any other clamp on the market," Mitch Hulbert, DPM, FACFAS, said of the RELJA Clamp.
"I love the fact that it is radiolucent and requires no incisions," John Krebsbach, DPM, FACFAS, added.
Amiot founded RELJA Innovations out of frustration with the lack of simple, intuitive, products available for hallux valgus (bunion) procedures. He began designing products himself and thus created the company. RELJA Innovations now offers a suite of solutions from the RELJA MIS Chevron Precision Bunion System to the RELJA Clamp.
