Ortho Development Corp. signed an exclusive agreement with DePuy Synthes, part of Johnson & Johnson Medical Device Companies, to promote its KASM Knee Articulating Spacer Mold in the U.S.
Here are five observations:
1. Articulating spacers are designed to allow patients to bear weight with the use of crutches or a walker and possibly maintain motion during recovery.
2. Ortho Development Corp.'s KASM knee spacer is designed to preserve range of motion, joint space and soft tissue tension.
3. The knee spacer features a smooth articulating surface for both the femur and tibial sides along with an open mold design that allows surgeons to customize the fill of each component to accommodate for existing bony defects and other patient-specific conditions.
4. Ortho Development Corp., created the mold to fit three sizes to account for a variety of patient anatomies.
5. Ortho Development Corp., designs, develops, manufactures and markets knee and hip replacement, spine and trauma devices.
