About Ancerix | Orthopedic Surgical Toolkit Startup
Company
As the medical technology field continuously evolves, Ancerix proudly unveils its plan to develop a new orthopedic toolkit. Having licensed patents from The University of Arizona, Ancerix aims to provide new options to the orthopedic surgical domain.
Challenges Faced in Orthopedic Hardware Removal
Bone Overgrowth
In patients, excessive bone growth often blocks easy access to screws, making their removal cumbersome.
Screw Stability Issues
Bone integrity, often weakened due to infections, becomes a challenge. This can result in screw rotation, making the removal process even more complex.
Broken Implements
One of the monumental challenges orthopedic surgeons face is the removal of broken intramedullary nails. If not addressed efficiently, these broken pieces can lead to further complications.

EdgeV
Designed to minimize bone loss as it is maneuvered or hammered beneath the screw head. Once positioned, the surgeon pushes the bar downward. This action exerts upward pressure on the screw, engages the threads, and assists in the screw removal.
EdgeC

EdgeV
Tailored for the extraction of cannulated screws and broken intramedullary nails. Its mechanism allows it to attach to a standard handle for an optimized pull-and-rotate action. One benefit lies in minimizing post-surgical complications from remaining fragments.
Management's Roadmap:
Product Finalization
The primary focus lies in refining the Ancerix Toolkit. This means leveraging standard materials and simplifying manufacturing processes to create a comprehensive set of instruments housed in a sterilization box.
FDA Approval
Drawing from the vast experience of Ancerix's founders, a full documentation submission will be made to the FDA. This will include substantial equivalence tables, a testament to the toolkit's alignment with existing, legally-marketed orthopedic devices.
Manufacturing & Exposure
Upon commencing manufacturing, the strategy expands to include active participation in trade shows to showcase the product's utility. Additionally, efforts will be directed toward recruiting distributors, informing buying services, and disseminating information to orthopedic surgeons.
Sales Concentration
The emphasis will be on the sales of this innovative add-on product. Given the established market, its competitive pricing, and the clear articulation of its value, it targets a user group that is likely to be receptive.
