Morphix is a novel suture anchor manufactured from MedShape’s proprietary shape memory PEEK Altera biomedical polymer.
Suture anchors are used in a variety of surgical procedures that require the reattachment of damaged or worn ligaments and tendons to bone.
The ExoShape Interference Fixation Device also utilizes MedShape’s PEEK Altera biomedical polymer to provide simple and secure tibial fixation of soft tissue grafts during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures.
Morphix has received the US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance in September 2009 and ExoShape received in November 2010.
MedShape Solutions Sales vice president Jim Lorenzo said proprietary shape memory technology platform allows them to design and market truly differentiated orthopedic devices that simplify the surgical procedure, reduce post operative complications, and restore musculoskeletal function.
