MicroPort Orthopedics Launches Profemur™ Preserve™ Hip Stem Inaugural Surgery Performed by Phillip Merritt, MD
ARLINGTON, Tenn. — 21 August, 2015 — MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. ("MicroPort® Orthopedics") announced today the launch of the Profemur™ Preserve™ Hip Stem ("Profemur™ Preserve™"), a short stem designed to support today's growing market of bone and tissue preserving surgical techniques. "As physicians evaluate the landscape of short stems, Profemur™ Preserve™ is attractively positioned to capture market share," said Patrick Gregory, Hip Product Manager for MicroPort® Orthopedics. Short stems have grown in popularity as physicians give additional consideration to tissue-friendly approaches and ongoing care for a younger patient population. Shorter stems preserve bone, which facilitates future revisions through a wider range of treatment options.
Preserve™ Classic was designed to maximize head center coverage with the fewest number of SKUs resulting in an optimized stem with virtually no technique learning curve. Preserve™ Classic and Preserve™ Modular are part of MicroPort® Orthopedics' Simply Versatile™ platform which allows surgeons the flexibility of using classic and modular stems utilizing the same surgical technique with a common set of instruments. "Managing OR flow and consistency are central initiatives for MicroPort® Orthopedics as we bring new products to the market," said Gregory.
Performing the first two hip replacement surgeries with Profemur™ Preserve™ is Dr. Phillip Merritt, Direct Anterior Approach Specialist, Glendale, California.
