The LINK is a single-use, continuously dynamic compression external fixator that uses a single-piece split box-shaped spring to apply forces to bone pins and compress bony structures percutaneously. Its cover is designed to remain near, but not contact, the skin.

The Super Scaffold is a tubular fenestrated intramedullary bone fixation implant and ingrowth scaffold for inter-digital fusion. It is made from shape-changing nitinol and activates when implanted.
