Innovative Flex-Fix™ System Simplifies Procedure and Reduces
Costs for Ankle Injury Treatments
The Orthopaedic Implant Company (OIC) today announced the launch
of its latest innovation in orthopaedic care – the OIC Flex-Fix™
System. This value-based system is specially designed for the
treatment of syndesmotic injuries, a common yet challenging ankle
injury that results from extreme rotation or rolling of the
ankle.
The Flex-Fix™ System marks a significant enhancement to OIC’s
value-based portfolio, now providing for the treatment of
syndesmotic injuries, which may occur with or without accompanying
ankle fractures. The Flex-Fix™ System is versatile, designed for
use either in conjunction with a bone plate or as a standalone
solution. This flexibility in application ensures that a wider
range of indications can be addressed resulting in better value for
more of these procedure types.
“The Flex-Fix™ System is a leap forward in treating syndesmotic
injuries with a value-based mindset. It represents OIC’s commitment
to innovation, patient care and cost-effectiveness,” said Itai
Nemovicher, CEO of the Orthopaedic Implant Company. “By simplifying
the procedure and reducing the need for additional hardware,
Flex-Fix™ is set to drastically reduce costs for patients and
healthcare facilities, while maintaining our high standards of
care.”
Flex-Fix™ System allows for micromotion during the healing
process, designed by OIC to mimic natural joint mechanics. The
resulting design gives way to a more natural and effective
recovery. Additionally, the system significantly minimizes the risk
of hardware removal, a common issue associated with traditional
rigid screw fixation.
“The design of the Flex-Fix™ System is centered around patient
safety and surgical efficiency,” explained Keli Tokunaga, Associate
Engineer for OIC. “Its low-profile design is critical for
minimizing tissue impingement and enhancing patient comfort. The
deployment mechanism is meticulously engineered for precision and
control, while eliminating the need for a medial incision.”
The OIC Flex-Fix™ System is commercially available in the United
States. For more information, please visit
