Exactech announced successful completion of the first ankle replacement surgeries using new Vantage Ankle 3D and 3D+ tibial implants.
Vantage Ankle 3D and 3D+ tibial implants provide surgeons with tibial stem heights from 10 to 30mm and the benefits of 3D printing. Along with the 3D-printed surface, the implants also feature spiked pegs and a tall sharp central cage, with growing diameters, to aid with initial fixation.
Earlier this year, the company launched a new advanced vitamin E polyethylene insert, Activit-E, and is preparing to launch an ankle navigation system, ExactechGPS Ankle. In addition, Exactech released additional patient-specific cutting guides, a collaboration with 3D Systems, that are compatible with the new implants.
