Profile: Ascension Orthopaedics develops, manufactures and distributes small joint implants for the treatment of osteo-arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We offer products such as pyrocarbon MCP, silicone MCP, pyrocarbon PIP, silicone PIP, pyrohemispherer, saddleT pyrocarbon CMC, pyrospherer, pyrodiskr, first choicer DRUJ system, modular radial head, RADFxr & total foot system. Our modular radial head consists of articular friendly shape that reduces edge loading on the capitellum and radial notch, which allows for annular ligament closure. Our new RADFx® system allows surgeons to have all the tools necessary to repair or replace a radial head fracture in one instrument set. Pyrocarbon-on-bone articulation wear is significantly less than medical grade metals and ceramics.

The company was founded in 1996, has ~40 employees and is ISO 9001, CE certified.

18 Products/Services (Click for related suppliers)

• Bone Fixation Screw (FDA Code: HWC / 888.3040)

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

• Carpal Lunate Wrist Prosthesis (FDA Code: KWN / 888.3750)

A wrist joint carpal lunate prosthesis is a one-piece device made of silicone elastomer intended to be implanted to replace the carpal lunate bone of the wrist.

• Carpal Trapezium Wrist Prosthesis (FDA Code: KYI / 888.3770)

A wrist joint carpal trapezium polymer prosthesis is a one-piece device made of silicone elastomer or silicone elastomer/polyester material intended to be implanted to replace the carpal trapezium bone of the wrist.

• Finger Semi-Constrained Pyrolytic Carbon Uncemented Prosthesis (FDA Code: NEG)

• Hand Implants MP and PIP Joint Implants

• Humeral (hemi-shoulder) Metallic Uncemented Prosthesis (FDA Code: HSD / 888.3690)

A shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) metallic uncemented prosthesis is a device made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. It has an intramedullary stem and is intended to be implanted to replace the articular surface of the proximal end of the humerus and to be fixed without bone cement (888.3027). This device is not intended for biological fixation.

• Metallic Radial Head Implants

• MP and PIP Joint Implants

• Phalangeal Hemi- Toe Prosthesis (FDA Code: KWD / 888.3730)

A toe joint phalangeal (hemi-toe) polymer prosthesis is a device made of silicone elastomer intended to be implanted to replace the base of the proximal phalanx of the toe.

• Polymer Constrained Finger Prosthesis (FDA Code: KYJ / 888.3230)

A finger joint polymer constrained prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a metacarpophalangeal or proximal interphalangeal (finger) joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that consist of a single flexible across-the-joint component made from either a silicone elastomer or a combination pf polypropylene and polyester material. The flexible across-the-joint component may be covered with a silicone rubber sleeve.

• Polymer Radial Hemi- Elbow Prosthesis (FDA Code: KWI / 888.3170)

An elbow joint radial (hemi-elbow) polymer prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted made of medical grade silicone elastomer used to replace the proximal end of the radius.

• Proximal Femoral Fixation Implant Device (FDA Code: JDO / 888.3030)

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

• Radial Head Implants

• Silicone MCP Soft Skeletal Implant

• silicone radial head Implants

• Small Joint Implants

• Titanium Radial Head Implants

• Ulnar Hemi- Wrist Prosthesis (FDA Code: KXE / 888.3810)

A wrist joint ulnar (hemi-wrist) polymer prosthesis is a mushroom-shaped device made of a medical grade silicone elastomer or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene intended to be implanted into the intramedullary canal of the bone and held in place by a suture. Its purpose is to cover the resected end of the distal ulna to control bone overgrowth and to provide an articular surface for the radius and carpus.
