Problem
Traditional fracture repair relies on invasive plates and screws, often requiring secondary surgeries for removal and potentially leading to stress shielding and complications. Current fixation methods may not be ideal for all fracture types or patient anatomies, necessitating a more adaptable and less invasive solution.
Solution
Cohesys is developing BoneTape, a resorbable fixation device designed to provide a less invasive alternative to traditional plates and screws for fracture repair. BoneTape is a single-piece device comprised entirely of resorbable materials, eliminating the need for permanent implants and secondary removal surgeries. The device is designed to be cut to shape, allowing surgeons to customize the fixation to the specific fracture and patient anatomy. This customizable approach aims to reduce stress shielding and promote natural bone healing.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons seeking less invasive and more adaptable fixation solutions for fracture repair.
Features
- Single-piece design simplifies surgical procedures and reduces the risk of complications associated with multiple components.
- Resorbable material eliminates the need for secondary surgery to remove the implant.
- Customizable shape allows for precise adaptation to various fracture types and patient anatomies.
- Designed to promote natural bone healing by minimizing stress shielding.
