1. Signature Personalized Patient Care System for Oxford Partial Knee System — The Signature Personalized Patient Care System creates a custom femoral and tibial surgical positioning guide for the partial knee replacement. The procedure is indicated for patients with osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis in the medial compartment and the implant should be used with bone cement.

BioMimetic Therapeutics

2. Augmatrix Biocomposite Bone Graft — Augmatrix Biocomposite Bone Graft, a new bone graft substitute product line composed of carbonate-apatite and Type 1 collagen. It is designed for use with bone marrow aspirate and has been cleared for use in multiple environments, such as fracture repair and general bone void filling procedures.

DePuy Orthopaedics

3. AOX Polyethylene — The AOX Polyethylene was approved for use with the SIGMA Rotating Platform Knee System and LCS COMPLETE Mobile Bearing Knee System. AOX includes a blend of polyethylene resin and the antioxidant COVERNOX and eliminates the annealing or remelting process. The material is designed to deliver oxidative stability and optimum wear resistance without compromising mechanical properties.

4. RECLAIM Modular Revision Hip System — RECLAIM includes instrument technology to improve intraoperative handling, flexibility and efficiency. The system is designed for more diverse options for treating each patient’s unique pathology.

5. GRIPTION TF Acetabular Augment System — GRIPTION is designed for patients with bone defects in moderate to complex acetabular revision surgery. It has a highly porous structure made from pure titanium and includes a variety of options and configurations for unique patient anatomy. The system works in conjunction with the PINNACLE Acetabular Cup.

6. TRUMATCH Personalized Solutions 2.5i — This solution promotes procedural efficiency in knee replacements. It is designed to enhance capabilities that aid implant positioning as well. TRUMATCH can reduce the procedure time by up to 35 minutes. It uses CT scans and computer software to guide the development and production of the femoral and tibial cutting blocks prepared individually to match the patients’ actual bone.

7. GLOBAL UNITE Platform System — This system is indicated for treating fractures of the proximal humerous. It is designed to improve tuberosity healing and can later be easily converted to a reverse shoulder arthroplasty for treating arthritis with a torn rotator cuff.

8. GLOBAL STEPTECH APG System — This shoulder system is designed to correct excessive retroversion caused by posterior glenoid bone loss and minimize the removal of healthy bone. The prosthesis includes a proprietary step design with a spherical anterior backside surface and conical posterior backside surface to counteract posterior loading.

Exactech

9. Optetrak Logic — The Optetrak Logic is a primary knee system for total knee replacements. It combines the company’s Hi-Flex geometry, net compression molded polyethylene inserts, optimized FIT tibial trays and streamlined Logic LPI instrumentation, and includes additional sizes. It also includes the Posterior Cruciate Referencing Technique and CR Slope technology for planning and performing anatomical surgery.

10. Equinoxe Augmented Glenoid — Exactech introduced the Equinoxe Augmented Gelnoid implants designed for challenging glenoid morphologies. The implants address posterior, superior and medial deformities in a procedure designed to preserve native bone.
