MedShape ExoShape

The ExoShape Soft Tissue Fastener orthopedic implant is used to reattach tendons into a tunnel created in the knee (or other bone). MedShape’s proprietary PEEK Altera shape-memory material provides superior fixation, enabling patients to resume to normal activity and training faster. Our design for the toolset (dilator, T-bar, inserter tool, and deployment gun) is cannulated to allow the use of guidewires to enhance confidence in proper placement of the insert. Features on the gun

prevent mistakes in alignment and assembly of the device. The design requires a fraction of the manual force required by competitive devices, giving the surgeon greater feel and control over insertion. The familiar operation minimizes surgeon error, reduces training time, and has resulted in shorter times in the operating room and lowered costs.
