Product Overview
For correcting Calcaneus Valgus
Merete’s Research and Development department has completed its redesign of the MC-Subtalar™. The instrument set is now more compact, the surgical technique significantly faster and easier. The cannulated MC-Subtalar™ II Torx screw is now a one-piece screw. Foot joint function is preserved.
