PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® Procedures, today announced the successful completion of the first cases utilizing its SpeedAkin™ Anatomic Compression Implant.
The SpeedAkin™ implant broadens the procedural versatility of Treace’s flagship SpeedPlate™ fixation platform, which is advancing a new standard in bone fusion fixation. Akin osteotomies are corrective straightening procedures of the great toe commonly performed in conjunction with bunion surgery1. SpeedAkin™ offers surgeons a unique anatomic implant that delivers dynamic titanium compression to stabilize the Akin osteotomy during healing.
“The SpeedAkin™ implant leverages our proprietary SpeedPlate™ technology in a differentiated Akin osteotomy solution, further expanding our best-in-class bunion focused portfolio.” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder and Board Member of Treace.
Surgeon design team member, Amber Shane, DPM, FACFAS, Department Chair and Residency Faculty at AdventHealth commented, “The SpeedAkin™ titanium compression implant provides my patients the benefits of anatomically contoured fixation and eliminates the potential for nickel allergy reaction associated with nitinol staples. SpeedPlate™ technology is a gamechanger for my Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures - and I’m excited to extend these benefits to my Akin osteotomies, a procedure I perform frequently with my bunion corrections.”
