Exactech (NSDQ:EXAC) today announced the successful first surgeries involving its Truliant Porous knee implant.
Truliant Porous is a non-cemented implant system that Exactech said is designed for reproducibility and efficiency in total knee arthroplasty.
Truliant Porous is designed to reduce micromotion and aid potential bony in-growth, according to the company. The system features a unique 3D additive manufacturing tibial design developed to mimic the trabecular nature of cancellous bone with optimal pore size and porosity characteristics. Truliant Porous also includes a combination of porous pegs and a channeled keel with flutes that are designed to increase bony-implant engagement and micromotion resistance, the company said. The integrated bone screw fixation options allow for intra-operative stability.
