RTI Surgical Receives 510(k) Clearance for Dynamic Active Compression (DAC) Plate

UF startup and UF Innovate | Sid Martin Biotech alum RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc., a global surgical implant company, recently received 510(k) Clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Dynamic Active Compression (DAC) Plate to provide stabilization and fixation of small bones of the foot. The DAC plate addresses an unmet need in the foot and ankle market and represents RTI Surgical’s first 510(k) Clearance since the company became an independent player with the support of Montagu.

“The DAC plate is designed to improve fusion procedures in the foot by combining the rigid stability of a plate with Nitinol’s ability to provide continuous compression and ensure apposition of the bony surfaces during healing,” said Dr. Constantine Demetracopoulos, Hospital for Special Surgery. The system’s simplicity also provides for surgical application using minimal, straight-forward steps which address challenges of current standard plate and Nitinol staple options, without the complexity associated with more advanced options.
