Field Orthopaedics Announces Plans to Debut Award-Winning Micro Screw at AAOS in Las Vegas
Field Orthopaedics, a rapidly growing Australian orthopaedic devices company that focuses on the design and manufacturing of orthopaedic devices to address the shortcomings in the trauma, extremities and biological markets, today announced plans to showcase its FIELD MICRO SCREW SYSTEM at the 2019 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting in Las Vegas on March 12- 15, 2019.
At the 2019 AAOS Annual Meeting, Dr Chris Jeffery, CEO of Field Orthopaedics and Dr Greg Couzens, world-renowned hand surgeon, will showcase the FIELD MICRO SCREW SYSTEM for the first time since it received FDA 501(k) clearance in July 2018 and began manufacture.
The FIELD MICRO SCREW SYSTEM has been created to increase efficiency with the potential to significantly reduce complications in the management of orthopaedic injuries and the fixing of fractures in the hand and wrist. It features a range of 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm diameter cannulated compression screws ranging in length from 6 mm to 16 mm in 1 mm increments, 0.6 mm single trocar K-wires of 70 mm length plus a specifically designed instrument kit, tailored to the insertion of the 1.5 and 2.0 FO Micro Screw.
In 2018, the FIELD MICRO SCREW SYSTEM won Product Design Gold at the 2018 Australian Good Design Awards® for its ergonomic design and ground-breaking storage, safety and sterilization capabilities.
