WMGI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Wright Medical Group, Inc., a global orthopaedic medical device company, announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given approval to the Company to market its original Conserve Plus Total Hip Resurfacing System.
Now available in the United States, this total surface arthroplasty system provides surgeons and their patients a bone-conserving alternative to traditional total hip replacement, the Company noted in a release.
Wright said that the approval permits Wright to market Conserve Plus in the original femoral and acetabular component configuration specified in its PreMarket Approval (PMA) application and enables the Company to initiate efforts to introduce additional enhancements to the system which are currently only available outside of the United States. The Company intends to incorporate these future product options into the Conserve Plus System's femoral and acetabular component offerings via the PMA Supplement pathway.
"Hip resurfacing represents a valuable alternative to younger, more active patients who desire a hip reconstruction that more anatomically mimics the natural hip," said Patrick Fisher, Sr. Director of Marketing for Wright's hip franchise. "We have learned that this is an excellent option for patients who meet the criteria for hip resurfacing, and these individuals tend to be very enthusiastic and outspoken about their positive results."
