Hip Arthroscopy System - CONMED Linvatec now offers a complete system for labral repair in hip arthroscopy. The CONMED Linvatec hip system includes the Bio Mini Revo® suture anchor, suture passers including the extended length Spectrum MVP™, and a full line of extended length accessory instrumentation. Extended length shaver blades, burs, and a disposable hip kit along with a slotted cannula system offer surgeons a comprehensive line of innovative solutions for arthroscopic labral repairs during hip arthroscopy.

Paladin™ Suture Anchor - The Paladin™ suture anchor is the latest addition to CONMED Linvatec’s arsenal for rotator cuff repair. To fulfill surgical needs, the Paladin will be available in two popular sizes and is offered with a self-drilling punch-tap for one step insertion during shoulder repair. Capitalizing on CONMED Linvatec”s patented bioabsorbable self-reinforced Poly Lactic acid (PLA), the Paladin™ suture anchor is another reflection of Conmed Linvatec”s commitment to innovation and bringing products to market with a superior biomaterial advantage. (The Paladin™ Suture Anchor is currently pending 510k approval.)

Zen™ Wireless Footswitch and Adaptor - The Zen™ Wireless Footswitch and Adaptor eliminates the need for wires from the footswitch to the power console units and incorporates the power of Zigbee® communications technology to provide three pedal control of CONMED Linvatec’s power control consoles and hand pieces that are used in a variety of orthopedic, spine, and ENT applications. The adaptor easily and quickly installs directly to the console and wirelessly connects to the footswitch with the simple press of a button and tap of the pedal. The Zen adapter provides this functionality without the need for special hardware or taking up valuable cart space.

ReAct™ Arthroscopic Shaver Blades - Unlike conventional shaver blades that only cut by rotation, our new ReAct™ Arthroscopic Shaver Blades have the ability to reciprocate while rotating. The ReAct™ blade’s novel, patent pending blade hub design provides a more aggressive and faster cutting action with unsurpassed resistance to clogging, potentially reducing the time during the surgical procedure.

Mpower® 2 Battery Power System - Mpower® 2 is the latest in our next generation battery power systems for large bone and small bone orthopedic and spine surgical applications. It has been designed with our unique sealed system to ensure years of reliable performance. New features include our quick connect collet and intuitive mode switch allowing for ease of use that is unparalleled in the market. Its ergonomic design provides a balanced and light weight system that produces one of the highest power outputs available to surgeons.

VP1600 Digital Documentation System - The VP1600 Digital Documentation System expands on CONMED Linvatec’s technology leadership of true High Definition products and is a cost effective solution for surgeons versus traditional pc based image capture systems. The 1080p digital still capture unit enables users to save and print the highest quality images.

Largo, Fl., July 21, 2008 - ConMed’s (NASDAQ:CNMD) Linvatec division is excited to announce FDA 510k clearance for use of the Bio Mini-Revo suture anchor in the repair of the labrum in the hip joint.

Spectrum® MVP Shoulder Suture Passer
The Spectrum MVP is the newest in CONMED Linvatec’s long line of suture-passing devices for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It builds on the gold standard set by the Spectrum model, with an even greater ease-of-use.

Sentinel Drill Bits
With diameters ranging from 5.5mm - 13mm, in half size increments, the new Sentinel Drill Bits allow surgeons to safely, yet accurately, drill the highly precise femoral tunnels that are required not only in standard ACL procedures but in the increasingly popular double bundle ACL technique. They facilitate an anterior medial approach by safely passing the condyles without scuffing the cartilage.
