Our ultimate goal, which we continually strive to achieve, is help patients, suffering from painful and debilitating foot and ankle conditions, to regain their mobility. We believe that our focus helps ensure that we are better able to design improved surgical solutions in partnership with specialist surgeons, which help them get their patients get back on their feet.
We fully recognise that regaining mobility can mean very different things for different patients and can be dependent on multiple factors. Some patients would like to get back to demanding sporting activities whilst for others pain free walking will suffice. We also recognise that notwithstanding the goals of individual patients, fusion of bone, after the correction of a deformity, remains the primary goal of the surgeon for many surgical procedures for foot and ankle conditions.
This is where we focus. Our development engineers collaborate with specialist surgeons to find ways that they can improve the design of devices to enhance these fusion rates and maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of the surgical procedure.
It is essential that the development process is fully inclusive and collaborative in nature and combines the expertise of clinicians with that of the design engineers. This partnership approach ensures that we are able to collate, assess and validate varied innovative surgical and engineering ideas and refine them down to meaningful product enhancements. The teams are looking at developing enhanced surgical solutions for clinical indications in the forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle.
All our new product developments are designed, tested and manufactured to meet all the requisite international quality and regulatory standards.
