Stryker's Pangea Plating System brings together thoughtfully designed plates and a streamlined instrumentation set, giving surgeons practical options when treating a range of fractures.

"Pangea was developed with a clear goal in mind: supporting anatomical fit while maintaining simplicity in the operating room," said Prof. Trompeter. "The system brings together thoughtfully designed plates and a streamlined instrumentation set, giving surgeons practical options when treating a range of fractures."

The devices are non-active implants intended to provide temporary stabilization for bones or bone fragments. The system includes plates and complementary instrumentation intended to support plate fit and provide surgeons with options for fracture fixation across the upper and lower extremities.

"Having used the system in the U.S., I've seen how it supports consistent workflows while offering flexibility in fracture fixation," said Arvind von Keudell, MD, PhD, MPH, fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. "It's designed in a way that helps surgeons adapt to different fracture patterns without adding unnecessary complexity in the operating room."

Developed in collaboration with 26 orthopaedic surgeons from around the world, the Pangea portfolio incorporates global anatomical data to support plate fit across diverse patient populations. The platform also provides variable-angle plating designed to offer flexibility in screw placement.

"We are pleased to introduce the Pangea Plating System to surgeons across Europe," said Dragana Bunjevac, vice president and general manager of Stryker's Trauma & Extremities division in EMEA. "Pangea reflects our focus on developing solutions that enhance surgical workflow and address the evolving needs of trauma care."

The European launch expands access to Stryker's trauma portfolio and reflects the company's continued collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons worldwide to develop solutions that support fracture fixation.
