Product Overview
INTRODUCING DIP JOINT FUSION WITH FUNCTIONAL FLEXION
ArcPhix is ExsoMed’s innovative angled screw for strong, functional angle DIP fusions.
Late stage arthritis in phalangeal joints presents a variety of challenges for physicians. Although current treatment methods provide suitable outcomes, there is likelihood of producing a straight, distal interphalangeal joint fusions. These outcomes are not optimal.
Research has shown that when a patient’s distal interphalangeal joint is fused in a functional position, finger dexterity and grip strength improve over that of a patient with a straight, strength fusion.1 Physicians can achieve angled fusions by using K-wire fixation, however, the immobilization protocol can lead to several complications and varied results. While the utilization of compression screws provides reliable, strong repairs, it does not offer the additional benefit of functional flexion.
To address this unmet need, ExsoMed introduces ArcPhix, an innovative angled implant for strong, functional angle phalangeal fusions.
The system is provided sterile, where the implants are provided with a disposable instrument kit containing all necessary instrumentation to perform the case.
• 28mm length to fit hand distal interphalangeal joints
• 18° angle for functional fusion of the DIP joint
• Self-tapping screws for easy insertion
