Orthopaedic solutions provider restor3d has commercially launched the Ossera AFX Ankle Fusion Cage System to address complex ankle fusion cases.
restor3d describes the new product as a 'comprehensive platform' that has been designed for rapid delivery.
Now available in both standard off-the-shelf and made-to-order configurations, the system combines 3D printed titanium alloy implants, foot and ankle-specific reusable instrumentation, and TIDAL Technology, restor3d’s proprietary porous architecture engineered to support osseointegration.
The Ossera AFX portfolio includes a standardised implant offering in Cylinder, Dome, and Pill geometries, which were developed through years of analysis of restor3d patient case data to optimise fit across a broad range of anatomies. The system’s design also includes cannulated reamers, flat cut guides, and lateral fibular relief across implant geometries, supporting 'efficient, reproducible surgical workflows' while providing 'intraoperative flexibility.'
Prior to commercial launch, restor3d conducted a successful limited market release of Ossera products over the past several months.
“The Ossera AFX System is a readily available, standardised solution to deal with critical bone defects and has superior mechanical and osseointegration properties compared to allograft,” said Christopher Kreulen, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon at UC Davis Health. “The foot and ankle specific instrumentation and robust selection of sizes have significantly changed my complex limb salvage practice.”
“We understand that every surgeon has unique preferences and approaches when it comes to patient care,” added Ken Gall, Chief Commercial Officer at restor3d. “That’s why we offer a comprehensive array of personalisation options across our portfolio. Our goal is to ensure that every surgeon has access to the right tools to achieve the best possible outcomes.”
restor3d has previously used 3D printing to produce the Kinos Range articulating surface implant for ankle procedures andthe Aeros Modular Stem Total Ankle System.
