What

MedShape will be demonstrating the recently introduced ExoShape™ interference fixation device for ACL reconstruction that preserves soft tissue graft orientation, provides superior graft protection, and class-leading fixation.
ExoShape™ CL, a two-part PEEK Altera™ interference fixation device simplifies and improves soft tissue graft fixation during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery. The product was recently used successfully for the first time in a knee ligament reconstruction procedure performed by Champ L. Baker, Jr., M.D., at the Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital in Phenix City, Alabama.
ExoShape's design supports the evolution of reconstruction techniques to more accurately replicate complex native ACL functionality. This unique fixation device features a non-rotational deployment technique that preserves the surgeon's desired soft tissue graft bundle orientation and tension during single-tunnel double-bundle procedures, eliminating undesirable variables common to previous techniques.
Demonstration of the device in the booth and animation of the procedure featured.
Medical representatives on site to provide answers to surgical technique questions.
