Core Essence Orthopaedics to showcase advances in implant technology at 2010 Hand Surgery Symposium

Core Essence Orthopaedics, Inc., an innovative medical device company focused on minimally invasive soft tissue and skeletal repair solutions (for the extremities), will be attending the 12th Annual Hand Surgery Symposium in Philadelphia.

At the Hand Surgery Symposium, Core Essence will showcase exciting advances in implant technology that drive surgeon performance and facilitate minimally invasive techniques for the upper extremities. Each product has been specifically designed with the minimally invasive surgeon in mind, and the developments are driven by the customers' feedback and unmet needs.

"We focus on empowering surgeons with highly evolved intuitive devices designed to build on their classical training and skill," stated John Moran, CEO and President of Core Essence.

Core Essence's current product line is focused on high volume orthopaedic extremity surgeons who see and treat more patients than any other orthopaedic surgeon. The product line includes the TAC-tite™ Knotless Suture Anchor System, which allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive shoulder repairs with a fully threaded and adjustable knotless suture anchor (over 500,000 rotator cuff repairs per year in the U.S.); the reVERTO™ body-heat activated Shape Memory Reduction Devices for superior compression in four corner fusions; the SEG-WAY™ Synchronized Endoscopic Guide System for the treatment of carpal tunnel releases (over 1,000,000 procedures per year in the U.S.); and the reNOVO™ Suture Anchor System for tendon and ligament repair.
