The Compress Device was developed as an alternative method for fixating a segmental construct to host bone, while creating a stable bone-prosthesis interface.
Intended for Healthcare Professionals
Compress® Device
Stable, Bone-prosthesis Interface
Designed to replace the distal and/or proximal femur and/or humerus in cases of severe bone loss
Procedures
- Limb Salvage
Philosophies
- Dynamic Bone Compression
Application
- Limb Salvage
Unlike a stemmed construct, the Compress Device was designed to prevent bone resorption by allowing stress sharing via the implant and bone while providing a motion free environment suitable for biologic fixation

Benefits
System Compatibility
- Compatible with OSS Orthopedic Salvage System components
Dynamic Bone Compression
- The Compress Device exemplifies Wolff’s Law – the principle that bone, when stressed, remodels to become stronger through dynamic bone compression. This creates a stable, bone-implant interface for biologic fixation1-3 and helps to prevent stress shielding.
