Orthopaedic Implant’s Wrist Fracture Device Gains 510(k) Clearance

Reno, Nev.-based Orthopaedic Implant has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its DRPx wrist fracture plating system.

The titanium implant, which is intended for use in outpatient surgeries, features a low-profile pre-contoured plate and screw design to minimize the impact on soft tissue.

The system also includes variable-angle and fixed-angle locking screws and indicator lines for improved guidance and adjustment, the company said.
