Taq Ortho is developing novel augments designed to address the critical challenges encountered intraoperatively.
Taq Ortho's mission is to be the leading provider of advanced fixation augments in orthopedics and total knee arthroplasty. We leverage advanced digital fabrication to develop novel fixation devices.
As the total knee market expands globally with broadening indications, surgeons need new tools to address persistent challenges in implant fixation. Taq Ortho is building that solution.
Novel augments that enhance mechanical interlock for improved implant stability at critical interfaces.
A modular system of constructs designed for versatility across multiple joint applications and clinical scenarios.
Developed by practicing orthopedic surgeons and experienced device engineers to integrate into existing surgical workflows.
Leveraging advanced additive manufacturing to produce implant architectures not achievable through conventional methods.
Targeting fixation challenges at the interfaces most prone to failure — where no adequate solutions currently exist in the standard of care.
Providing surgeons with options when bone loss or sclerotic bone are encountered during knee arthroplasty procedures.
A seasoned team of surgeons, engineers, and industry professionals with decades of combined experience in orthopedic device innovation.
