OSSIO Inc. announced the U.S. launch and first commercial use of its OSSIOfiber bone pin family for bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and bone grafts.

According to a company press release, the first hammertoe repair cases with the pin were performed at the Polaris Surgery Center in Westerville, Ohio. The OSSIOfiber bone pin family received FDA 510(k) clearance in January and was intended to be used for treatment of forefoot conditions in which removal surgeries are prevalent. The OSSIOfiber intelligent bone regeneration technology uses bio-integrative material, which reportedly offers stability and secure bone fixation during healing and leaves no permanent hardware.
