Forma Medical Announces Milestone Achievement: 15th Patient Successfully Treated with OptimalMTP®, the World’s First Minimally Invasive Plate and Screw System

September 6, 2024

CAMP HILL, Pa., September 5, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Forma Medical Inc., a leader in innovative orthopedic solutions, proudly announces the successful treatment of the 15th patient with its groundbreaking OptimalMTP system. The limited release began in August and has now concluded, Forma will now commence broad commercialization of this revolutionary system. The OptimalMTP system is the world’s first minimally invasive plate and screw solution for MIS fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint.

The OptimalMTP system represents a significant advancement in orthopedic surgery, offering surgeons a reliable and reproducible method to perform minimally invasive surgery on the first MTP joint. Historically, the biomechanical benefits of a plate and screw system have been limited to more invasive procedures. With OptimalMTP, surgeons can now achieve the biomechanical benefits of a plate and screw construct while also providing patients with the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

“Reaching this milestone with our 15th patient successfully treated is a testament to the speed in which Forma innovates,” said Andrew C. Davison, President at Forma Medical. “Our mission is to empower surgeons with innovative tools that improve patient outcomes, and OptimalMTP is a perfect example of how technology can transform traditional surgical techniques.”

Forma Medical will showcase OptimalMTP and its other groundbreaking minimally invasive surgical products at the upcoming American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Annual Meeting in Vancouver next week. As part of Forma’s commitment to continuing education and advancing surgical techniques, surgeons attending the event will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on didactic training in wet labs.
