The DePuy Franchise:Offering a leading range of orthopaedic solutions

The DePuy companies, members of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, provide a full-line of orthopaedics products, spanning a wide range of orthopaedic and neurological solutions. We offer options to treat soft tissue injuries through the replacement of joints and spinal fusion. This range of solutions makes the DePuy Franchise the leader in Restoring the Joy of Motion™ for patients around the world.

Since 1895, DePuy Orthopaedics has focused on a commitment to Restoring the Joy of Motion™ for patients. Known as the first commercial orthopaedics company in the United States, DePuy Orthopaedics resides within the DePuy Franchise.

Early Intervention

Through our sports medicine portfolio at DePuy Mitek, we offer patients a leading portfolio of soft tissue repair products with arthroscopic products for the knee and shoulder. The company also offers ORTHOVISC® which is an FDA-approved therapy that replaces the fluid that is found naturally in your knee. ORTHOVISC is the only treatment made from ultra-pure natural hyaluronan which is found in healthy joint fluid and helps to cushion, protect and lubricate your knee joint. ORTHOVISC can help relieve knee pain for up to 6 months. Although individual results may vary, some people feel pain relief after the first injection.

Intermediate Intervention

For those patients needing orthopaedic care between soft tissue arthroscopy and total joint replacement, the DePuy companies offer an increasing range of intermediate solutions. These include options such as partial knee replacements - an effective and reliable minimally invasive surgical treatment for localized knee arthrosis; hyaluronan injections to replace joint fluid to cushion, protect and lubricate the knee; and vertebral body augmentation - a treatment that can reduce pain and restore motion in patients suffering a collapse of one or more vertebrae in the spine, usually as a result of osteoporosis.

Arthroplasty - Joint Replacement

Arthroplasty, a procedure to replace or mobilize a joint, is typically performed by removing the arthritic surfaces and replacing it with an implant. Recognizing the needs of today’s high demand joint replacement patients, the DePuy companies continue to innovate with solutions for these individuals. In hip replacement, DePuy Orthopaedics continuously introduces new implants designed to spare soft tissue, which can be implanted through more minimally invasive procedures. Pinnacle® Hip Solutions with TrueGlide™ technology help provide a smoother range of hip motion. Sigma® Knees offer a wide range of sizes, shapes and materials to meet the needs of knee replacement patients, and also can be implanted with minimally invasive surgical procedures. DePuy Orthopaedics also leads in options for shoulder replacement patients, continuously bringing forward new technologies that may help preserve healthy bone and improve the biomechanics of the natural shoulder.

Trauma

Expanding options for patients experiencing traumatic injury is a strong area of focus for the DePuy companies. Today, we offer leading fracture repair products for the wrist and hip, and are bringing forward other innovative treatments.

Spinal Disorders

Options for spinal disorders complete our range of solutions in orthopaedics. DePuy Spine offers a broad range of spinal repair products, including spinal fixation, spinal deformities and spinal injuries.
