Are you satisfied with the anatomy altering and irreversible treatment options you offer your patients?

Many people suffer several years from thumb base osteoarthritis before they are treated or even diagnosed. During these years they may not be capable of performing everyday activities, nor working.

Artelon® CMC Spacer

Artelon® CMC Spacer is a less invasive, tissue preserving option for the treatment of CMC-I joint osteoarthritis with the aim to restore the functionality of the hand.

Three year results from a published study show improved thumb function; stable CMC-joint, improved grip strength and experienced pain relief for patients treated with Artelon® CMC Spacer. A five year follow-up of the patients shows similar results.

Until 2007 more than 4 000 successful CMC procedures have been performed, improving the quality of life for patients who regain strength and mobility in formerly malfunctioning hands.

For treatment of thumb base osteoarthritis at a very early stage, the Artelon® CMC Spacer Arthro is an excellent alternative. This implant holds the same qualities as Artelon® CMC Spacer but is put in place through arthroscopic surgery.

Benefits:

• Utilizes the body’s ability to heal itself
• New functional surface is formed in the joint
• Stabilizes the joint
• Restores function and intact anatomy of the hand
• Reduces pain
• Fast and easy procedure
