SCANDIUS BIOMEDICAL ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF STRATIS ST ACL RECONSTRUCTION SYSTEM

Scandius BioMedical has launched the Stratis ST ACL Reconstruction System and Femoral Fixation Implant and reported that it has been successfully used in its initial surgeries since its recent FDA market clearance.

The Stratis ST system is used by orthopedic surgeons for the reconstruction of torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs). The company said that by using the Stratis ST system, physicians can address challenges associated with soft tissue ACL reconstruction and provide an alternative in an area where advances in arthroscopy are needed by surgeons and patients.

The system consists of an instrument set and femoral fixation implant in 8-, 9- and 10-mm diameters, and 25- and 35-mm lengths. The implants come in both bio-absorbable and non-absorbable polymer versions.
