(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Positions Treace to Significantly Increase Penetration into Overall Bunion market and Expand Surgeon Customer Base
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the“Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® Procedures, today announced the limited market release of the NanoplastyTM 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion CorrectionTM System and Procedure, a revolutionary approach to minimally invasive (MIS) bunion surgery.
The NanoplastyTM MIS System is designed to deliver a reproducible 3D correction of the bunion deformity through a cosmetically appealing, hidden incision on the side of the foot and help patients get back to their active lifestyles. This system represents the Company's first entry point into the metatarsal osteotomy segment--the largest segment of the bunion market--currently estimated to represent approximately 70% of the 450,000 bunion surgeries performed annually in the U.S.1
“As the pioneers and leaders in 3D bunion correction with the patented Lapiplasty® Procedure, we are excited to announce the limited market release of the first in our lineup of minimally invasive osteotomy solutions,” stated John T. Treace, CEO and Founder of Treace.“The NanoplastyTM Procedure allows us, for the first time, to address the large metatarsal osteotomy segment of our $5B+ US bunion market opportunity. The NanoplastyTM Procedure, combined with our market-leading Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® Procedures, represents a significant milestone in our strategy to provide a comprehensive portfolio of elegantly instrumented 3D bunion solutions to address the evolving needs of surgeons and patients alike.”
Surgeon design team member for the NanoplastyTM System, Jonathan Kaplan, MD (Associate Chief of the Foot and Ankle Division at Duke University) commented,“The NanoplastyTM System is a game changer for surgeons seeking to engage the growing patient demand for MIS osteotomy bunion surgery without the complexity and steep learning curves of current MIS osteotomy systems on the market. The NanoplastyTM System offers surgeons an advanced, instrumented solution allowing them to reproducibly correct all three planes of the patient's bunion deformity through a discreet 1.5 centimeter incision hidden on the side of the foot.”
“As MIS surgeons, it's our goal to alleviate patients' bunion pain, allow them a quick return to their active lives, while minimizing incision size and visual scars. I am excited to partner with Treace and fellow MIS design team members, Tyler Gonzalez, MD, Holly Johnson, MD, Brian Loder, DPM, Oliver Schipper, MD, and Ettore Vulcano, MD, to bring leading-edge MIS technologies like NanoplastyTM to patients,” Dr. Kaplan concluded.
Full commercialization of the NanoplastyTM 3D MIS Bunion CorrectionTM System is anticipated to occur within the first half of 2025.
