BioMedical Enterprises Earn U.S. Patent

Patent is for shape-memory orthopedic fixation system.

San Antonio, Texas-based BioMedical Enterprises Inc. (BME), which makes shape memory technology for small bone fixation, has earned a U.S. patent for its “method and apparatus for an orthopedic fixation system.” This patent relates to the combination of a compressive implant pre-loaded on an insertion device and packaged sterile, reportedly promoting efficiencies within the hospital surgical suite. The patent covers BME’s Speed and Shift fully-disposable continuous active compression system brands.

“This patent acknowledges and rewards the ingenuity fostered within a small company environment,” said Keith M. Peeples, president and CEO of BME. “Innovation is the driving force required to deliver clinically relevant surgical solutions.”

According to the company, the patent helps establish the foundation needed to build the most comprehensive continuous active compression system, which will meet the expanding needs of surgeons and their patients.

BME makes Nitinol implants for use in foot, hand and wrist.
