Ceterix Orthopaedics received FDA 510(k) clearance for an added feature to its NovoStitch Pro Meniscal Repair System.
Here are three things to know:
1. The size zero suture cartridge is designed to allow surgeons to place stitches arthroscopically in tight joint compartments.
2. Using NovoStitch Pro's new zero suture cartridge gives surgeons more suture size options. Surgeons are also able to pass a complete stich within the knee joint without reloading the device.
3. “Ceterix continues to bring advanced technology to orthopedic surgeons who are looking for better ways to preserve the meniscus,” said John McCutcheon, Ceterix’s president and CEO. “This latest innovation will be especially beneficial to those surgeons who prefer an ‘all-inside, all-suture’ procedure with a stronger suture for the more-demanding meniscal root repairs.”
