Paragon 28 Introduces JAWS Great White Staple

Paragon 28 JAWS Great White Staple

Paragon 28 introduced the JAWS Great White Staple, a system developed to provide for increased strength and stability of the osteotomy or fusion site when compared to traditional staples.

JAWS Great White features an ultra-low-profile bridge with increased surface area to enhance stability while minimizing soft tissue irritation. The newly designed staple has 400 times the fatigue life compared to a competitive nitinol staple subjected to the same load parameters. The shoulders of the staple work in conjunction with the inserter, allowing the staple to be fully seated prior to compression activation and limiting the need to tamp. The staples were designed to provide a uniform compression profile across the osteotomy and offer a 169% increased compressive force when compared to the average of a competitive two-prong, nitinol staple.

The addition of the JAWS Great White Staple System bolsters Paragon 28’s hindfoot solutions product offering, which includes the Gorilla Ankle Fracture Plate, APEX 3D Total Ankle, Silverback Ankle Fusion Plating System, Phantom TTC Nail and Phantom ActivCore Nail System.
