Warsaw, Indiana, July 25, 2017 — WishBone Medical, Inc., a new pediatric orthopedic company, has announced the official launch of the Exact Osteotomy System (EOS).  The Exact Osteotomy System provides precise and repeatable osteotomies for all types of pediatric orthopedic surgery.  The first launch to this system are guides specifically for juvenile bunion surgery and are an accurate aid in the correction of first metatarsalphalangeal joint deformities.

Eric Cracraft, VP Sales & Market Development for WishBone Medical says, “We are excited to release our first single-use, sterile packed disposable kit in just 6 months’ time.  There are so many other unmet needs in pediatric orthopedics that we will fulfill as we continue to design and develop innovative products.”

The Exact Osteotomy System provides 8 different guide types for the most popular distal metatarsal osteotomies, including Austin/Chevron and Youngswick.  The single-use, sterile packed kit includes cut guide, custom saw blades and two 0.045 K-wires.

Nick Deeter, WishBone Medical’s Founder and CEO added, “The use of cutting guides in adult orthopedics is common practice.  Currently, there are very limited cut guides available for pediatric orthopedic procedures. The Exact Osteotomy System will address the current issues that pediatric surgeons face when it comes to getting precise and reliable results. We strongly believe that getting products like the Exact Osteotomy System to market will be a game-changer in treating these types of deformities.  We are confident that this will make a remarkable impact on the pediatric foot and ankle market. We are also very excited to announce that we plan to have an additional 5 products in the marketplace by the end of 2017.”

The Exact Osteotomy System is currently available. Interested parties may contact WishBone Medical at 574-306-4006 or email CustomerService@wishbonemedical.com for more information.
