Executive Summary
Launches the S.O.S. (segmented oncology system) proximal femur implant. The S.O.S., which was cleared via 510(k) in June, is composed of "titanium modular pieces and is designed around a self-locking taper." The implant will provide surgeons with "maximum operative flexibility" in situations including "oncology, severe bone loss of the proximal femur, revision and trauma cases," Wright claims. The company estimates the cost of the S.O.S. is "approximately one-half the cost associated with similar custom-manufactured implants"
