Paragon 28, Inc. announced the launch of the Grappler R3INFORCE?? Extraosseous Repair System designed to restore stability to the anterior and posterior ligaments surrounding the ankle during fibula fracture repairs and high ankle sprains. Upon determination of syndesmotic instability, the Grappler®?

R3IN FORCE?? Anchors are placed in plate holes or other anatomic locations where pre-loaded suture tape can be routed and tensioned to address the injured ligament or ligaments. The Dynamic Anchor allows for micromotion in the repair to better replicate the mechanisms of the native tissue.

This system is highly synergistic with Paragon 28's existing offerings and can utilize the recently launched Grappler®? Knotless Sutures. This compatibility allows for multiple configurations for surgeons to cater their syndesmotic repair to their own treatment philosophies.

The Grappler®? R 3INFORCE?? ExtraOSseous Repair System is sterile packed and includes all instrumentation needed to complete the case in multiple configurations, reducing waste and intraoperative complexity.

In launching the Grappler®?R3INFORCE?? System and Dynamic Knotless Anchor, the company are adding to its comprehensive and growing suite of novel solutions designed specifically to treat injuries to the highly complex syndesmosis.
