The device preserves lower limb length equality for young patients with bone loss that occurs due to cancer.
Onkos founder and CEO Patrick Treacy said: “Paediatric sarcoma patients, who are candidates for the JTS growing prosthesis, often have complex treatment cycles in which we need to deliver precision designs in a very specific treatment window.
“Our investment in manufacturing innovation and design expertise will make a big difference in the future for these surgeons, patients and families and we couldn’t be more proud to serve their needs.”
The company has also unveiled its new modern manufacturing and R&D innovation centre at its headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey, US. It will use this new facility for the integration and growth of the technology.
