Demobone was built on the promise to deliver more innovative products at a better price. Market leaders in sawbone production and distribution can no longer provide the customer a fair-priced and promptly delivered anatomic training tool. The Demobone team saw this as an opportunity to deliver something better. Similar to Hand Innovations, Dr. Jim Orbay, a hand surgeon in Miami, saw a need for a lower profiled more anatomic volar plate. In 2000, the gold standard fixation was with k-wires, bulky plates, and a dorsal approach. Using his engineering background he developed a volar plate with multiple advantages. The plate offered fixed, angle k-wires to ensure safe screw placement and it was the first to have diverging pegs to capture dorsally displaced fractures. The screw-in guides were revolutionary in saving time and ensuring proper drill angles. Hand innovations was sold to Depuy in 2006 then later sold to Biomet to ease regulatory market dominance concerns from the Synthes acquisition. Since Hand Innovations, there have been dozens of volar plating systems with unique advances launched and that is the healthy competition we at Demobone admire.
