FDA 510(k) clearance on the Smart Correction External Fixation System for use in pediatric orthopaedic surgery.-WishBone Medical, Inc,

WishBone Medical, Inc., a leader in pediatric orthopedic medical devices, announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance on their Smart Correction External Fixation System, which comprises hexapod external fixator hardware and proprietary planning software. Used in facilities across Asia and Europe since 2009, the System boasts a proven record of higher accuracy [compared to Ilizarov fixators] and a design that enables surgeons to perform efficient, precise calculations with unrestricted strut placement. Looking forward, WishBone will ultimately transition the System to single-use, sterile packed procedure kits.
