The upper extremity includes the body’s most dynamic joint, as well as the structures we most often depend on daily manual functions. Injuries to soft tissues in these areas are not just painful, but highly disruptive to our lives. Because of this, speed of recovery and restoration of functional stability are both critical for a successful surgical intervention. With the ability to instantly deliver without constraining normal motion, Artelon’s Dynamic Matrix technology is a novel solution for enhancing these reconstructions.

Surgeons around the world use innovative systems from Extremity Medical every day, improving the lives of their patients. We are a global medical engineering company, dedicated to creating innovative solutions for the challenges that extremity surgeons face. We look at the challenges specific to treating distal extremities with a fresh perspective: equal parts critical thinking and creativity.

The simplicity of our design--born out of our extensive experience--comes down to the basic notion that traditional fixation techniques aren't strong enough and don't last. Our InSet™ approach to Glenoid fixation is revolutionizing shoulder arthroplasty and, more importantly, improving procedure longevity--ultimately changing patient's lives.

EXCLUSIVELY UPPER EXTREMITY

Skeletal Dynamics is proud to be the only medical device company solely focused on the upper extremity.

Alafair introduced VersaWrap, a plant-based (non-tissue, non-collagenous) bioresorbable hydrogel implant in 2017. VersaWrap is the only class II medical device intended for tendon, ligament, skeletal muscle protection, as well as for wrapping peripheral nerve. VersaWrap functions as a gliding interface by reducing friction between opposing tissues, thereby preventing unwanted postoperative tethering.
