Integra Announces First Implantation of HINTEGRA in Brazil
Integra LifeSciences has announced that the first three HINTEGRA Total Ankle Prostheses, a product of Newdeal, have been implanted in Brazil -- the largest market for foot and ankle implants in South America and the focus of Newdeal's efforts on that continent.
The HINTEGRA Total Ankle Prosthesis is the first anatomical three-piece total ankle replacement. Newdeal has sold the product since 2000 in Europe and since 2004 in Canada. The device is not approved for sale in the U.S.
HINTEGRA resurfaces the tibia and talus by minimal bone resection and incorporates a mobile inlay. The anatomical shape of the unique patented design of the HINTEGRA Total Ankle Prosthesis provides high intrinsic stability, low contact stresses to the bone, low ligament stress and minimal wear.
