Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. announced the successful completion of the first cases utilizing its new SuperBite™ Compression Screw System. The SuperBite™ screws are engineered to deliver advanced compression through a variable thread pitch and optimized headless design, with self-drilling and countersinking features enabling rapid screw insertion. The screw implants also incorporate a beveled head design with smoothed edges, making them ideal for both minimally invasive and traditional open surgical approaches. The SuperBite™ system offers comprehensive screw diameters ranging from 2.5mm to 7.0mm to address a broad range of foot & ankle surgical applications across the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot.

Why it matters

The launch of SuperBite™ represents an important milestone in the expansion of Treace's market-leading bunion & midfoot technology portfolio. SuperBite™ allows Treace's direct sales team to more fully service its 3,300+ surgeon customers' technology needs, not only in the procedures they perform with Treace today, but also a significant volume of incremental procedures throughout the foot and ankle where compression screws are utilized. Treace believes SuperBite™ screws will expand its addressable market, accelerate its case volumes, and grow its customer share of wallet, all while further advancing its position as a 1-stop-shop for its customers.

The details

The first cases with the new SuperBite™ screws were performed by Anne Holly Johnson, MD, of Hospital for Special Surgery (New York, New York) and a member of Treace's Surgeon Advisory Board. Dr. Johnson commented, "My first cases with the SuperBite™ screws were very successful. I was impressed with the streamlined insertion and great compression. Compression screws are the most common fixation used in foot and ankle surgery, and I plan to use the SuperBite™ screws in many different fusion and osteotomy applications."

  • Full commercialization of the SuperBite™ Compression Screw System is anticipated in the third quarter of 2026.
