X-Fuse®

The X-FUSE® implant was developed for IP [thumb] and DIP arthrodesis. Its intramedullary placement reduces the risks of infection, non-union and sub-cutaneous irritation associated with other osteosynthesis hardware.

ADVANTAGES

  • Reduced infection, non-union and sub-cutaneous irritation risk.
  • Stable bony union and fixation due to the notched implant.
  • Early post-operative movement after 48 hours.
  • Expanded "X" design compresses across the fusion area to promote healing.
  • Available in three angle options: 0°, 15° and 25°.

Features

  • Storage at room temperature.
  • No heating or cooling required.

Sizing

Four sizes to correspond with patient anatomy

Sizing approximation: Each surgeon must evaluate implant sizing based on your own medical experience and personal judgement

 

Contraction/Expansion Design

The notched legs help achieve a stable bony union after fixation.
