CMC Implant
| Ascension Orthopedics, Inc., has announced the launch of the Ascension® NuGripTM CMC Implant. The NuGrip is designed to relieve pain and restore range of motion in the first carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. The Ascension NuGrip is a joint replacement for the base of the thumb made of PyroCarbon, a material known for its superior wear and biocompatibility characteristics. The company notes that the implant is a bone-preserving, reliable alternative to soft-tissue reconstruction, which is the standard treatment for this indication. The Ascension NuGrip CMC implant is a single component that minimizes bone resections and preserves the trapezium. The stem is anatomically designed for a press fit within the intramedullary canal without cement. The specifically designed stem and collar enhance stability and maintain the anatomy’s joint space. The spherical head has an extended circumference which provides maximum opportunity for range of motion within the trapezium. The device offers 8 sizing options to fit patient anatomy.
