DJO Acquires Foot and Ankle Devicemaker MedShape

Colfax subsidiary DJO has purchased orthopedic device developer MedShape, a company that focuses on innovative devices for foot and ankle surgeons.

The MedShape portfolio includes devices for fracture fixation, joint fusion and soft-tissue injury repair that use biomaterial technologies to improve patient outcomes.

MedShape uses superelastic nickel titanium technology to develop devices that respond to changes at the surgical site, including bone resorption, and maintain compression and bony apposition through the healing process.

DJO did not disclose the final terms of the acquisition.
