Orthofix announces 1st patient procerdures with Galaxy Fixation Gemini system

Orthofix Medical announced the full U.S. commercial launch and successful completion of the first cases with the Galaxy Fixation Gemini system. The latest in the Galaxy product line, this stable external fixation system is provided in several sterile procedure kit configurations as a quick off-the-shelf solution for treating fractures that result from trauma in the lower and upper limbs. “In trauma settings, it is critical that we respond quickly to manage the damage to the impacted limb,” said Dr. Evengy Dyskin, Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics, University of Buffalo, in Buffalo, NY. “The all-inclusive nature of the sterile kits eliminates spatial constraints, enabling application in a trauma bay or intensive care unit setting, which would not be possible with a traditional pin-to-bar system.”
