The Compressyn system includes a stainless steel staple that springs into position upon delivery, providing active tension that creates strong, consistent compression.
The Compressyn staple, which is more rigid than a nitinol staple, minimizes the risk of splaying and improving patient outcomes. The staple design also virtually eliminates distraction, which has been an issue with competitive stainless steel offerings.
Dallen Medical CEO David Mills said that by adding a disposable system to the company’s portfolio, it will be able to offer hospitals and surgery centers a more affordable option for small bone fixation without diminishing the system’s superior results, which responds to current efforts to improve the cost and quality dynamic in the healthcare system.
"The Compressyn Staple is designed to provide surgeons with the highest standard of rigid compression leading to optimal patient outcomes, enabling them to provide the best possible care to their patients," Mills added.
Recently, Dallen Medical submitted an application to the FDA for approval of an acromioclavicular ligament repair device for shoulder separation as part of its Tensyn band product line.
The Tensyn technology provides knotless banding for stabilized fixation of the ankle and other anatomy that does not require rigid compression.
