AI Summary
SINTX Technologies announced the successful completion of the first-in-human surgical use of its FDA-cleared SINAPTIC® Foot & Ankle Osteotomy Wedge System, marking a major clinical and commercial milestone as the company expands into the global foot and ankle reconstruction market. The procedure was performed March 13, 2026 by Dr. Scott Carrington, DPM, FACFAS, at Emplify Health in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Surgeons reported the implant provided the needed structural integrity and clear imaging crucial for reconstructive cases.
The SINAPTIC wedge uses SINTX’s silicon nitride biomaterial, noted for osteoconductive and pro-osteogenic properties, a bacteriostatic surface, hydrophilicity, and compatibility with X-ray, CT, and MRI. These features may help bone integration, reduce bacterial adhesion, and improve post-operative imaging, potentially aiding clinical decision-making and patient recovery.
SINTX views this case as an important step toward commercial adoption of the SINAPTIC platform, broader orthopedic applications beyond spine, and a planned U.S. commercial launch to support long-term growth.
