Stryker Launches Pangea Plating System in Europe
Stryker announced the European launch of its Pangea Plating System, a plating platform for the treatment of a wide range of fracture patterns. Prof. Alex Trompeter, design surgeon and orthopaedic trauma surgeon, along with his team at St. George's University Hospital in London, completed the first clinical case in Europe. The devices are non-active implants intended to provide temporary stabilization for bones or bone fragments. The system includes plates and complementary instrumentation intended to support plate fit and provide surgeons with options for fracture fixation across the upper and lower extremities.
