Medical device company CurvaFix has received 510(k) clearance for its CurvaFix Low Profile System for fixation of pelvic fractures.
The new system has smaller head geometry for a lower-profile construct, implants with increased compression and extended implant lengths, according to a Sept. 3 news release from CurvaFix.
Through clinical experiences from surgeons, the CurvaFix system can reduce pain, support earlier mobility and improve recovery compared to conventional straight implants.
There are an estimated 200,000 pelvic fractures in the U.S. each year, the release said.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
