Trimed

In 1997, TriMed®, Inc. was incorporated with the initial goal of developing a unique set of orthopaedic implants designed to treat complex distal radius fractures through ORIF. At the time, these implants out-performed existing methods used for repairing complex wrist fractures and provided one of the first treatment options by ORIF for these complex injuries* – ultimately initiating the movement to optimize recovery of complex distal radius fractures. The success of TriMed’s fragment specific implants was the key component for developing the first complete Wrist Fixation System. More importantly, the advancement in the treatment of complex periarticular fractures became the driving force for the development of TriMed’s unique methods and inventive technologies to successfully treat complex musculoskeletal pathologies of the upper and lower extremities. For the past twenty years, TriMed has worked diligently to foster an inventive culture that aims to provide solutions where traditional methods often fall short. This enthusiasm has been the motivation behind many of TriMed’s innovative technologies, including the Volar Bearing Plate and the Sidewinder Plate. TriMed has also expanded its expertise beyond the periarticular fracture, and currently offers a number of systems that utilize unique methods formulated to optimize patient recovery and increase efficiency in the operation room, including: the Ulnar Osteotomy Compression Plate, Clavicle System, Elbow and Forearm System, Fifth Metatarsal System, and Ankle Fixation System.*R.J.
