Conformis announces first implants of Actera Hip system

Conformis (Nasdaq:CFMS) today announced the first procedure performed with its new Actera hip system for hip reconstruction.

Billerica, Massachusetts-based Conformis designed its Actera hip system with a cutting-edge, tri-taper stem.

Conformis wins FDA clearance for Actera hip system

Conformis (Nasdaq:CFMS) announced yesterday that it received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Actera hip system.

Billerica, Massachusetts-based Conformis announced the regulatory win after the market closed on Tuesday, Sept. 13. This afternoon (Wednesday, Sept. 14), shares of CFMS are up 8.5% at 29¢ apiece.

The company designed Actera with a tri-taper femoral stem, adding to its hip portfolio. Conformis said the tri-taper design is becoming “more common” among orthopedic surgeons.

“We’re excit…
