Cameron Park, CA – March
6, 2007 Orthogroup
Inc. Announces New Paralign Orthopedic Broach
Handle for Anterior Approach
Orthogroup announced the release of a new product
for anterior approach surgical hip replacement.
This product represents a first for the industry
where conventional broach handle is designed
is for the posterior approach.
I’m very
excited about the simplicity, low cost, and easy
cleanability of the Paralign
Anterior Broach Handle,” says Henry Fletcher,
Founder and Chairman of Orthogroup. “Using
a sophisticated rapid prototyping process, we
developed a multitiude of shapes and configurations
until the surgeons said that we had it right.”
The
Paralign Anterior Broach Handle is designed
specifically for the anterior approach and employs
a three-dimensional shape to provide optimal
visual and surgical access. It also has a unique
patent pending locking system that assists
in
the proceedure. “I’m impressed with the Paralign
Anterior Broach because surgical and visual access
is
improved because the shape avoids soft tissue
impingement that would occur in using a conventional
handle design,” says Dr. ___________________.
The
Paralign Anterior Broach Handle is currently
designed to fit all major implant systems. For more information on Orthogroup Inc. products,
