- Here is a break-down of some of the highlights that we identified at this years annual meeting exhibit hall.
1. Alternative suture devices - Easy Whip: You would think that there isn’t much that can be modified with suture but this company really took a step back and made a simple tweak to the standard looped suture.
2. Custom 3D-printed bracing - Protect 3D is doing some great work designing custom bracing that can be made with an iphone and an app device.
3.Continuous compression - lots of cool nitinol devices including new TTC fusion options (Arthrex Dual Compression nail) and plate/staple options.
4.WB CT scan - most are familiar with Curvebeam but another company called Simulate took another approach by building an add on for traditional CT scanners.
5. Peripheral nerve treatment Curonix - some additional treatment options for patients with neuropathic pain which can be difficult to treat.
6. Cerement - most are familiar with the injectable bone graft substitutes. Cerement has a new PEAK delivery system that can be used for long bone fractures to improve accuracy of delivery
7.3D printing - tons going on here. Multiple companies including Restore3D, Sinaptic, 4WEB and OPM.
8. Total ankle arthroplasty and PSI
