Maxx Orthopedics Announces US FDA Approval of Freedom® Ultra-Congruent Liner Option Ahead of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Meeting
The Freedom® Ultra-Congruent Liner (UC) has received US FDA approval and is the latest tibial liner offering in the Freedom® Knee System. The UC liner's unique design was developed with the desire to achieve a higher level of constraint than typically achieved in a traditional cruciate-retaining (CR) knee design and offers new liner thicknesses to help better match The Freedom® Knee to the needs of the patient.
NORRISTOWN, Pa., March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Maxx Orthopedics, Inc. a subsidiary of Maxx Medical, Pvt. Ltd., a rapidly expanding global orthopedics device company, today announced that it has received US FDA clearance for its Freedom® Ultra-Congruent liner, the latest addition to its Freedom Knee® System.
The Freedom® Ultra-Congruent Liner (UC) was developed with the desire to achieve a higher level of constraint than typically achieved in a traditional cruciate-retaining (CR) knee design. The UC tibial liner includes a deep anterior patellar cut-out to allow for tendon clearance, a prominent anterior lip that aids in prevention of anterior subluxation of the femur, and a prominent posterior lip that assists in resisting posterior translation of the femur. Providing patients with more precise balance and stability, the thickness offerings for the Freedom® Ultra-Congruent Liner will be 1mm increments throughout the size range.
"We are thrilled to add the UC liner offering to our Freedom® Knee System. In addition to the unique design of the Ultra-Congruent liner, we are also introducing new liner thicknesses to help our customers better match the Freedom Knee to the needs of the individual patient. This is an evolutionary step towards our goal of creating and providing solutions that best fit our patients' needs so they, along with our medical professionals, continue to have the best possible outcomes." said Ashesh Shah, CEO, Maxx Medical.
Launched in 2009, The Freedom Knee® System is a total knee replacement system specifically engineered for high flexion, bone conservation and advanced component size and fit capabilities. Maxx will be displaying The Freedom® Ultra-Congruent Liner at AAOS Annual Meeting, March 13-15, in Las Vegas, NV (Booth #2063). For additional information, please visit http://www.maxxortho.com.
