NAPLES,
Fla., April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Arthrex, a global leader in minimally invasive surgical
technology, has once again taken home prestigious medals for
product innovation at the 37th annual Edison Awards.
"This product, along with our other
innovations, will prove to be a true benefit to patients and
surgeons."
The MIS FiberTak® Achilles SpeedBridge™ Repair Implant System
with Knotless Rip-Stop won Gold in the Surgical Innovations
category. The innovative repair implant system and technique
provides a minimally invasive approach for insertional Achilles
tendinopathy.
"This award is validation for the effort of the Extremities and
Trauma Soft Tissue team in their drive to win the Achilles
midsubstance tear market," said Arthrex Senior Director - Product
Management Pete Denove. "This product, along with our other
innovations, will prove to be a true benefit to patients and
surgeons."
The SutureLoc™ implant, the first knotless, all-suture
retensionable anchor designed specifically for arthroscopic
meniscal root repair, took home the Silver award in the Orthopedic
& Musculoskeletal Solutions category.
"The team is really pleased to be recognized with such a
prestigious award to acknowledge this important, innovative product
specifically designed to preserve the meniscus," said Product
Manager Julia Cuny. "It's a
complicated anchor to produce and it provides an entirely new
mechanism that we developed just for this implant. It was truly a
team effort with over 20 teams contributing to the
development."
The Edison Awards honor businesses, executives and inventors who
have created innovative products and services that not only solve
problems, but also seize an opportunity to create a new market. The
awards are named after Southwest
Florida winter resident Thomas
Edison, who died in 1931.
In 2021, President and Founder Reinhold
Schmieding won the Edison Achievement Award for his
accomplishments, including leading the product development and
marketing of Arthrex's products and related surgical techniques.
Reinhold personally holds more than 100 patents and has led the
issuance of over 1,800 patents and patents pending for Arthrex.
Previous winners of the Edison Achievement Award include
Elon Musk and Steve Jobs.
That same year, Arthrex also won three gold awards for
OrthoPedia, the InternalBrace™ 2.0 ligament augmentation repair
