Expected to launch in May 2022, the novel system addresses traumatic tendon lacerations in the hand, wrist, and forearm.

“We are pleased with the outcome of the FDA’s review of our 510(k) submission supported by a ninety patient clinical trial and are excited about the upcoming introduction and commercial launch of the product,” said Jeffrey Barnes, President and CEO of CoNextions. Dan Gruppo, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, explained, “Our network of independent sales distributors is well-positioned to offer the CoNextions TR device to orthopaedic surgeons both in the US and abroad as a better alternative to the current standard of care.”
