TELESCOPING FITNESS WALKING POLES
| Exerstrider Products Inc. has introduced its newest walking pole model, the Activator™ Medisport Edition. The Activator™ is Exerstrider’s first adjustable-length pole utilizing the same type of “snap button/hole length adjustment” mechanism commonly used on canes and walkers. The new model features the same strapless/safety ergonomic grips featured on their other fitness walking poles and it comes equipped with Exerstrider’s boot-shaped Cushiongrip™ rubber tips. An optional bell-shaped balance tip is available for those for whom balance is a major concern.
The snap button/length adjustment hole mechanism was incorporated into the Activator™ model to provide greater safety and security to those with limited hand strength and because the mechanism is very familiar to physical therapists and others in the medical fields.

NEW ROTATOR CUFF PAIN TECHNOLOGY
| DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. announced the launch of a new implant system that offers hope for patients with debilitating shoulder problems. The new technology, called the Delta Xtend™ Reverse Shoulder System, reverses the anatomy of the shoulder to use the healthy deltoid muscle to aid in restoring pain-free shoulder function in patients with severe rotator cuff pain, helping them return to their daily activities.
The Delta Xtend System applies scientific and clinical knowledge based on DePuy’s 20-year history with reverse-shoulder implants. The new Delta Xtend System builds on the success of the Delta CTATM Reverse Shoulder System. The Delta CTA System, the only reverse shoulder design with over 20 years of clinical heritage, is designed to optimize two key factors: range-of-motion and recovery time.1,2
The surgical procedure with the Delta Xtend System reverses the anatomy of the shoulder. The implant is designed so that the ball portion is attached to the scapula and the socket portion to the humerus. A functional deltoid muscle is needed for use of this device.
