REACHING MORE PEOPLE, SERVING MORE HEALTH NEEDS. PAGE 11
Customer focus, technological advances and responsible education help bring
greater health care solutions to more patients.

patient, is enjoying life without
the pain that plagued her before
receiving her knee implant from
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.
Designed along with leading surgeons, the EXPEDIUM™
is quicker and easier to use than previous systems, while
still providing stable, secure fixation of the spine. DePuy
Spine is expanding its presence in minimally invasive
surgery with three products developed to make spinal
surgery less traumatic for patients. When used together,
the PIPELINE™ Access System, CONCORDE™ Implant
and Instrument System, and the VIPER™ Fixation
System provide less invasive access to the spine and
controlled placement of implants that stabilize the spine
as part of a spinal fusion or decompression procedure.
DePuy Mitek, Inc. introduced ORTHOCORD™ Suture, an
orthopaedic suture for knee and shoulder repair with
unique product attributes in strength, handling and
knot-tying capabilities. DePuy Mitek drew upon the
expertise of Ethicon, Inc., which utilizes a unique,
proprietary blend of materials and processes. DePuy
Mitek has also combined the QUICKANCHOR®Plus
Family with the ORTHOCORD™ Suture
to offer three new products, which
in addition to multiple indications
for arthroscopic shoulder soft tissue repair, may be
used in many elbow, hand, foot, wrist, ankle and
knee procedures.
ISOCOOL® Bipolar Forceps from Codman & Shurtleff, Inc.
enable neurosurgeons to work uninterrupted. Unlike
traditional forceps that allow heat to build-up at the tips
during coagulation, causing delicate tissue and blood
vessels to stick and tear, ISOCOOL®Forceps use a propri-
etary heat pipe technology to stay cool and clean. This
eliminates the need for surgeons to pause to clean forceps
during neurosurgical procedures and can lessen thermal
spread that may damage surrounding tissue.
