JAWS™ Nitinol Staple System to Address Fracture and Osteotomy Fixation of the Foot
Paragon 28® designed the JAWSTM Nitinol Staple System for use in an osteotomy,
arthrodesis and fragment fixation of bones and joints of the foot including
fixation of small bone fragments.
The JAWSTM Nitinol Staple System uses superelastic nitinol and a simple insertion
method to gain rigid compression across an osteotomy site.
Unlike many competitive implants, the JAWSTM Nitinol Staple System has a lightweight
titanium inserter that allows the surgeon to fully seat the staple before it is
released from the inserter.
This allows for final placement of the staple before the staple compresses the osteotomy site.
Compression is achieved upon insertion; no heating or electrical activation is required.
A low profile bridge (1.2 mm vs. competitive 1.5 mm or greater) helps minimize soft
tissue irritation while the sharp-tooth geometry increases pull out resistance and
helps resist migration during healing.
Paragon 28® optimized the shape, angulation, and size of the staple legs to distribute
compression evenly along the length of the legs. This helps eliminate plantar gapping
and ensures consistent force across the osteotomy site.
All instrumentation for the JAWSTM Nitinol Staple System comes in a self-contained,
disposable, sterile kit. The JAWS Nitinol Staple comes pre-loaded on the inserter
to help facilitate a quick and simple surgery.
