OrthoPediatrics announces limited release of DF2 Brace

OrthoPediatrics announced the limited release of the DF2 Brace as part of its expansion in the non-surgical business for treating kids with musculoskeletal injuries. The DF2 Brace is intended for femur fracture fixation in pediatric patients from approximately 6 months to 5 years of age instead of spica cast by providing immobilization of the femur, knee, and hip. Joe Hauser, President of Trauma and Deformity Correction at OrthoPediatrics, added, “This is the first product launch for the OrthoPediatrics Specialty Bracing group and will significantly improve the care of kids with femur fractures. The ability to eliminate anesthesia and complications associated with spica casts, all while reducing the overall cost of care is a significant advancement in pediatric orthopedics for patients, their families and surgeons.”
