Johnson & Johnson MedTech announced that DePuy Synthes has launched its TriLEAP Lower Extremity Anatomic Plating System, a system with low-profile, procedure-specific titanium plates, designed for foot and ankle surgeons.
The TriLEAP System covers a range of forefoot and midfoot reconstructive and trauma procedures for the fixation and fusion of bones and bone fragments in adults and adolescents.
“With the launch of the TriLEAP System, we now have a comprehensive portfolio for first ray surgery, which addresses conditions of the big toe, first toe bone, and foot and ankle reconstruction,” said Oray Boston, Worldwide President, DePuy Synthes Trauma, Extremities, Craniomaxillofacial, Animal Health and Sports. “This product is key to our strategy, which is to help advance our forefoot and midfoot portfolio to get people back on their feet. It also builds on our established orthopedics leadership and takes us further in our goal to lead in foot and ankle care.”
The TriLEAP System includes contoured and conventional titanium plates that can accommodate multiple screw shaft options to allow for rescue screws. It also features harmonized, color‐coded instrumentation with ergonomic functionality that has ease of use features.
“There's a growing need for plating systems that offer greater precision and customization. Foot and ankle anatomy varies widely among patients, and having plates that can adapt more precisely to individual anatomy can lead to better outcomes,” said Dr. Michael Campbell, M.D., FAAOS, board certified orthopedic surgeon with Atlantic Orthopedic Specialists who specializes in conditions of the foot and ankle. “I'm excited that the TriLEAP System is now available for first ray surgery and foot and ankle reconstruction. The complete and specific set of tools for different procedures means we have a system that truly meets the diverse demands of the operating room, helping us provide even better care for our patients.”
The TriLEAP System will be featured at the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Annual Meeting in September. For more information on the system and other DePuy Synthes Foot & Ankle specialty products, read more here.
