Centric Medical has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Hammertoe correction system.
Featuring dual threaded design, the system is inserted between the proximal and middle phalanges, enabling opposing threads fixate on the phalangeal canal of the toe and compress the joint.
According to the company, the current standard of care for hammertoe correction is to treat patients with wire pins, which can break and dislodge.
Hammertoe system enables the implant to remain within the bone, helping in avoiding the follow up surgery to remove the pin.
