Problem
Patients suffering from wrist injuries or degenerative conditions often experience chronic pain and limited range of motion, significantly impacting their daily activities and quality of life. Current treatment options may not fully restore natural wrist biomechanics, potentially leading to long-term complications and reduced functionality.
Solution
This startup is developing a novel wrist implant designed to restore near-natural wrist function for individuals with painful, nonfunctional wrists. The device utilizes a double center of rotation to mimic the natural biomechanics of the wrist joint, preserving blood flow and enabling a greater range of motion compared to traditional wrist implants. This innovative design aims to simplify surgical procedures and improve long-term patient outcomes by closely replicating the wrist's natural movement patterns.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons specializing in hand and wrist surgery, as well as patients suffering from wrist arthritis, traumatic injuries, or other conditions requiring wrist arthroplasty.
Features
- Double center of rotation design to replicate natural wrist biomechanics
- Preservation of blood flow to the wrist joint
- Enhanced range of motion compared to existing wrist implants
- Simplified surgical implantation procedure
