MẌ Orthopedics Scores FDA Clearance

The FDA has cleared MẌ Orthopedics’ dynaMẌ nitinol compression screw, which provides higher levels of compression, against traditional bone screws, as the bone remodels.

The screw fixation technology is designed to alter shape in vivo, thereby improving fracture reduction while applying controlled compression to the fracture location, according to Matthew Fonte, founder and president of MẌO.

The company will be presenting the dynaMẌ product line at the annual meeting of the American Podiatric Medical Association in Philadelphia, Pa., and the annual meeting of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society in Toronto. — Anisa Jibrell
