Champ L. Baker, Jr., MD, performed the procedure at Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital in Phoenix City, Ala. The company intends to make a full market release of its FDA 510(k)-approved ExoShape device in June 2011.
The device features a non-rotational deployment technique designed to preserve the soft tissue graft bundle orientation and tension during single-tunnel double-bundle procedures. The use of MedShape’s proprietary PEEK Altera polymer allows the sheath to be pre-compressed for easy insertion and then expand for graft-to-tunnel compression.
