After the Brits and Irish came up and made with ASR, Preservation, LCS DuoFix, Pinnacle MoM, Proxima, Silent and iOrthopaedics, all of which were stupendous failures, Warsaw felt some pressure to compete and finally managed to top them all with Attune.
It didn't seem possible to come up with something that would make lawyers more rich than DePuy's special take on metal on metal, but Attune is going to get there.
The December 2016 MAUDE reports on Attune saying: "The analyses and investigations eventually led to a new product development project, which will enhance fixation and make the product more robust to surgical technique per co (b)(4)."
while we still happily let Attune go into patients until S+ was launched was a comedy classic.
I make that 80k Attunes sold in the US after we knew it stunk. That is going to get costly.
