Avitus Orthopaedics, a company out of Farmington, Connecticut, received FDA clearance and has begun sales of its Avitus Bone Harvester device for gathering autologous bone graft and bone marrow. The device allows physicians to gather autografts in a minimally invasive fashion, which serves as probably the best material for orthopedic procedures. The firm is now working on winning European regulatory approval later on this year.
“We are excited for the feedback and enthusiasm we have received from surgeons piloting our technology,” said Neil Shah, CEO of Avitus. “This validates the need for a streamlined way to obtain significant volumes of cancellous autograft and bone marrow. Autograft is regarded as the gold standard bone graft material; our technology has the potential to mitigate the harvesting challenges associated with autograft and provide a cost effective solution for surgeons using this bone graft option.”
