Exactech gets FDA clearance for knee implant days after bankruptcy filing

Orthopedic

Exactech received 510(k) clearance for its Truliant Porous Tibial Tray, a 3D tibial knee implant.

The implant creates a porous structure to better facilitate initial and biological fixation by using additive manufacturing technology, according to an Oct. 31 news release. 

The tray features peripherally placed tibial pegs, a dual v-channeled keel and optional cancellous bone screws.

The clearance comes just days after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Investors plan to provide about $85 million in additional financing to support Exactech's operations.
