Treace Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implant Technology

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., Nov. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of hallux valgus (commonly known as bunions) through its Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction™ Procedure, today announced that its SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implant System (“SpeedPlate™”) has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to be used for fracture fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the foot and ankle.

The SpeedPlate™ System was designed for rapid delivery of titanium compression implants, serving as enabling fixation technology with Treace’s new Micro-Lapiplasty® instrumentation which allows the patented Lapiplasty® procedure to be performed through small, 2cm incisions. The SpeedPlate™ implant platform also serves as a versatile addition to the Company’s fixation portfolio, with broad compatibility with conventional Lapiplasty®, Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™, and Adductoplasty® procedures/systems.

“We are pleased to announce 510(k) clearance of our SpeedPlate™ technology. SpeedPlate™ represents an exciting new fixation platform for Treace as we continue to invest in targeted R&D efforts aimed at making our Lapiplasty® therapy less invasive, faster, and easier for surgeons to perform, reinforcing our mission to improve surgical outcomes for bunion patients and advance Lapiplasty® as the standard of care,” said John T. Treace, CEO, Founder, and Board Member. “As with any procedure involving smaller incisions and less tissue dissection, we believe our Micro-Lapiplasty®/SpeedPlate™ offering may translate to even faster patient recovery with less pain and swelling.”

The Company anticipates limited release of SpeedPlate™ implants with Micro-Lapiplasty® instrumentation in the first half of 2023 with expanded access in the second half of 2023.
