The opti-Toe Small Straight Implant is comprised of two mated components (proximal and middle phalangeal) which join together to form a single intramedullary fixation unit. Indications: The GraMedica opti-Toe Device is indicate for reconstruction of the lesser toes following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe, and mallet toe. The GraMedica opti-Toe components are to be cemented in place and assembled for reconstruction of the toe. Patients should protect weight-bearing or heal bearing until healing has occurred.
A small diameter rod typically used for the fixation of a bone fracture or bone grafts, or for an osteotomy or arthrodesis. The rod may be smooth, wholly- or partially-threaded, solid or cannulated, and some designs may be tapered; it is not specific to the clavicle bone. The device is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes (e.g., implant grade metal, surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). Some designs may have a break-off shank and/or may be coated [e.g., with hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxylapatite (HA)] to improve purchase in osteoporotic bone and for long-term fixation. This is a single-use device.
