Clover™ Staple

The BioPro® Clover Staple is a 3-leg and 4-leg nitinol memory-alloy staple specially designed for intercarpal fusions. The Clover Staple activates at patient body temperature providing dynamic, centralized compression designed to speed up the fusion process.

Features

• Nitinol memory alloy offers compression at patient body temperature
  
• 3 and 4-leg designs with 9 sizes of each available
• Top dimension compresses, creating centralized compression
• Teeth on legs to prevent back out
• Low profile to minimize radial impingement
• Minimal bone resection for maintenance of fusion mass

Modular Thumb Implant

The BioPro Modular Thumb Implant is a two-piece implant consisting of a head and a press-fit plasma-sprayed stem designed to replace an arthritic carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.

Why offer your patients joint replacement?

If arthritis is localized to the carpometacarpal joint, implant arthroplasty may be a viable option.
The BioPro Modular Thumb Implant is a clinically proven joint replacement option, with 94% implant survivorship at 6-years.¹ There is more to consider than simply implant survivorship though.

Research shows patients previously treated with both LRTI and joint replacement prefer their joint replacement and 97% of overall patients are satisfied with the procedure.¹

Perhaps the most differentiating factor of joint replacement is sparing the trapezium, preserving multiple revision options if necessary in the future. There are numerous other benefits of the Modular Thumb Implant including:

• Significant pain relief and improved function^1,2
• Faster recovery (on average 10 weeks faster than LRTI patients)^1,2
• Return of pinch and grip strength^1,2
• Maintains thumb length and cosmetic appearance¹
• Reduce operating time by ~19 minutes when compared to LRTI¹

Implant Technology

The Modular Thumb Implant is a two-piece design, allowing each implant to be personalized to the patient’s anatomy. It offers 4 head diameters in 3 head offsets each, and 4 stem sizes. Utilizing modular components allow the head to be sized to match the anatomy of the trapezium and the stem to be sized to match the metacarpal. Additionally, head offsets allow the joint to be properly tensioned. This modular technology combined with our medial offset head and varus angle stem mimics natural joint anatomy. Data that highlights these features include:

• Low revision rates^1,2
• Low subluxation rates^1,2
• No implant dislocations^1,2

Memory Staple

The Memory Staple is a nitinol memory-alloy staple designed to provide fast and stable fixation in a variety of procedures. The staple provides dynamic compression designed to facilitate bone healing.

Features

• Unique S-Bend bridge of the Memory Staple ensures even compression across the fusion site, while maintaining a low profile against the bone
• The Memory Staple is one of the most comprehensive compression staple systems on the market with 17 standard sizes
• Manufactured from Nitinol and activated at patient body temperature which provides dynamic compression during the healing process
