Posted by: BioPoly February 13, 2025

FORT WAYNE, IN – BioPoly LLC has achieved a major milestone with the first-ever elbow surgery utilizing its groundbreaking BioPoly® Radial Head Implant. This significant advancement is the result of dedicated collaboration between BioPoly’s expert engineers, operations team, design surgeons, and distribution partners.

“This is a moment surgeons have been waiting for,” said Herb Schwartz, President & CEO of BioPoly. “Our unrivaled radial head implant is now available, and it directly addresses two of the biggest challenges in radial head arthroplasty: loosening and cartilage erosion.”

Unlike traditional metal implants, the BioPoly® Radial Head Implant features a smooth titanium stem that allows for natural positioning, reducing joint stress. Additionally, BioPoly’s proprietary synthetic cartilage articulates smoothly with native cartilage—preventing the damage often caused by metal alternatives. Notably, it is also the only nickel-free radial head implant on the market.

BioPoly continues to expand its innovative orthopedic portfolio. In addition to the Radial Head Implant, the company offers FDA-cleared Great and Lesser Toe Implants, currently available across the U.S. Meanwhile, the BioPoly® Knee Implant is set to begin an FDA-approved clinical trial in the U.S. very soon.

With a commitment to pioneering orthopedic solutions, BioPoly LLC remains at the forefront of implant innovation. The company is ISO 13485 certified and headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
