Extremity Innovations

Extremity Innovations is a medical device company that specialized in developing advanced orthopedic solutions for the foot and ankle market. The company's flagship product, the HammerTube, is a titanium-sprayed PEEK intramedullary implant designed for the stable correction of hammertoe deformities. This technology offers a press-fit alternative to traditional K-wire fixation, aiming to reduce surgical complications and improve patient recovery times. Founded in Salt Lake City, the company focused on streamlining extremity reconstruction through innovative material science and implant design. In May 2021, Extremity Innovations was acquired by Paragon 28, which integrated the HammerTube technology into its comprehensive orthopedic portfolio.
