RTI Surgical recently announced its new AlloWedge bicortical bone wedges and instrumentation set.

Designed to offer surgeons an alternative for opening wedge osteotomies in the foot and ankle, AlloWedge bicortical grafts are geared specifically for use in Cotton and Evans osteotomy procedures.

The instrument set includes includes a wide footprint distractor with textured surface for enhanced control, osteotomes with a serrated edge, trials to match graft size and shape, tamps with a textured surface to reduce the possibility of slippage during graft insertion and a balanced mallet, according to a company press release.

“Each instrument in the set was carefully designed based on surgeon feedback, guiding us in creating a more effective way to approach deformity corrections in the foot and ankle,” Brian K. Hutchison, president and CEO of RTI Surgical, said in the release.
