SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BME (BioMedical Enterprises, Inc.), a developer and manufacturer of small bone implants, is proud to announce the United States launch of Speed™. It is the first fully disposable continuous compressive bone fixation system made available to orthopaedic and podiatric surgeons.
BME, the only U.S. manufacturer of Nitinol small bone implants, applied its extensive knowledge in memory metal implant design to the development and production of Speed™. The Speed™ system is a comprehensive series of shape memory bone fixation staple implants, in combination with single-use instruments.
