The COREX™ Bone Harvesting Device from Trinity Orthopedics is the all-in-one MIS graft harvesting system designed to swiftly capture unmorselized and undesiccated autologous cancellous bone from all major anatomical sites (calcaneus, proximal/distal tibia, ASIS/PSIS, femur, distal radius, etc.) with one simple mechanism. Using a patented cortical breaching trocar and a patented graft locking mechanism, the COREX™ can manually extract cancellous bone (the gold-standard for bone grafting) with minimal manipulation and without displacing marrow cellular elements, through a single percutaneous approach. Over 35,000 Corex procedures have been performed with no known instance of long term donor-site morbidity and with characteristic trivial short term donor site discomfort.
