The A.L.P.S. Total Foot System includes nine anatomically contoured plates and locking and non-locking screw options for use in reconstructive and trauma procedures of the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot. The plating technology is designed to accommodate patient anatomy, and the screw technology allows surgeons to choose from five different screw options for the locking holes.

The AFFIXUS Nail System is a set of short and long nail and screw options and instrumentation for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures. Like the A.L.P.S. Total Foot System, the nail system is designed to allow the surgeon to address unique patient anatomies. It combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantages of an intramedullary nail.
