Our Testimonials

Hannah Dailey

Chief Scientific Officer

Our clinical research protocol is one of a kind. We are using cutting-edge image-based analysis techniques to visualize the fracture and new bone formation. We can assess the structural integrity, not just the visual appearance of callus [new bone] formation, giving insights into healing that are fully quantifiable, robust, and unbiased.

Our Testimonials

James Harty

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Cork University Hospital

As an orthopaedic surgeon in a high intensity trauma center it is tremendously exciting to be implanting the Apex Tibia Nail, with features that are unique vs any other intramedullary nail available today.

Our Testimonials

Rob Hurley

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Cork University Hospital

“The science behind the Apex nail just makes sense. We have all had those patients whose fractures just wouldn’t heal. We had been using essentially the same technology for decades, without once trying to harness the natural biology of fracture healing. The Apex nail addresses this, and it is exciting times ahead.”
