DRPx Distal Radius Plating System

This was a team effort to build a full distal radius plating system from the ground up, targeting the surgery center market. The goal was to match or exceed the best systems on the market while staying true to OIC's value-based model.

The result was a comprehensive system that gave surgeons everything they need in one tray.

Complete System in One Tray

Plates, locking and non-locking screws, locking pins, drill bits, guide pins, depth gauge, PEEK drill guides, and all required instruments.

Full Range of Plate Sizes

Complete range of plate options to accommodate different patient anatomies and fracture patterns.

PEEK Drill Guides

Radiolucent material allows real-time fluoroscopic visualization during drilling.

Market Competitive

Designed to match top-tier systems in plate geometry and surgical workflow.

Primary contribution was implant design and mating targeter instruments, though I oversaw the entire system development.

FDA cleared, commercially launched, used in hundreds of patient cases. The standalone tray system received overwhelmingly positive surgeon feedback.

Status: FDA cleared (announced August 2021), in use on hundreds of patients
