The Baby Gorilla® Mini Plating System also includes a robust assortment of specially designed instrumentation including curettes, reduction clamps, osteotomes, plate bending tools and compression and distraction devices engineered specifically for use in the foot and ankle for small bone fractures and reconstruction procedures.
Paragon 28 is grateful for the significant contributions Dr. Patrick Yoon, MD Hennepin County Medical Center Minneapolis, MN and Dr. Thomas Harris, MD UCLA-Harbor Medical Center, Torrance, CA made as surgeon designers of this system.
