Innovative Flex-Fix™ System Simplifies Procedure and Reduces Costs for Ankle Injury Treatments

The Orthopaedic Implant Company (OIC) today announced the launch of its latest innovation in orthopaedic care – the OIC Flex-Fix™ System. This value-based system is specially designed for the treatment of syndesmotic injuries, a common yet challenging ankle injury that results from extreme rotation or rolling of the ankle.

The Flex-Fix™ System marks a significant enhancement to OIC’s value-based portfolio, now providing for the treatment of syndesmotic injuries, which may occur with or without accompanying ankle fractures. The Flex-Fix™ System is versatile, designed for use either in conjunction with a bone plate or as a standalone solution. This flexibility in application ensures that a wider range of indications can be addressed resulting in better value for more of these procedure types.

“The Flex-Fix™ System is a leap forward in treating syndesmotic injuries with a value-based mindset. It represents OIC’s commitment to innovation, patient care and cost-effectiveness,” said Itai Nemovicher, CEO of the Orthopaedic Implant Company. “By simplifying the procedure and reducing the need for additional hardware, Flex-Fix™ is set to drastically reduce costs for patients and healthcare facilities, while maintaining our high standards of care.”

Flex-Fix™ System allows for micromotion during the healing process, designed by OIC to mimic natural joint mechanics. The resulting design gives way to a more natural and effective recovery. Additionally, the system significantly minimizes the risk of hardware removal, a common issue associated with traditional rigid screw fixation.

“The design of the Flex-Fix™ System is centered around patient safety and surgical efficiency,” explained Keli Tokunaga, Associate Engineer for OIC. “Its low-profile design is critical for minimizing tissue impingement and enhancing patient comfort. The deployment mechanism is meticulously engineered for precision and control, while eliminating the need for a medial incision.”

The OIC Flex-Fix™ System is commercially available in the United States. For more information, please visit www.orthoimplantcompany.com or email info@orthoimplantcompany.com.
