Conventus Receives Clearance for Conventus Cage DU and PU Systems

Conventus Orthopaedics received a 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market its new Conventus Cage device for fractured ulnar bone repair.

The device system employs the shape memory properties of nitinol to expand within the bone which creates a structure that prevents a collapse of the fracture repair. This eliminates the use of plates and screws.

The device is used for the treatment of distal and proximal ulna fractures when internal fixation is desired and there is not an abundance of small fracture pieces to be stabilized. — Cynthia Jessup
