Orthofix International Announces International Launch of Galaxy Fixation

February 9, 2012 By AxoGen, Inc.

LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Orthofix International
N.V., (the Company) announced today the international launch of Galaxy Fixation
at the American Academy
of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting this week in San Francisco, CA.
This new external fixation system is designed for use in temporary and
definitive, complex orthopedic trauma applications, where rapid stabilization
and fixation is essential.

“Orthofix has designed yet another innovative external
fixation system that brings simplicity and stability to a new level,” said
Robert Vaters, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The introduction of
Galaxy Fixation represents Orthofixs commitment to maintaining its leadership
in external fixation in international markets. We are excited to offer this
next-generation, modular system that provides multi-functional, fracture
management capabilities in both upper and lower extremity applications for our
surgeon customers outside the U.S.”

Galaxy Fixation incorporates a streamlined combination of
clamps with both pin-to-bar and bar-to-bar coupling capabilities that provide a
complete range of anatomical applications and reduces inventory. It also
includes specific units for the elbow and shoulder. While the rigidity and
stability allows for use in definitive fixation, the design also addresses the
need for rapid stabilization needed for temporary fixation in large trauma
centers.
