Exactech, a global medical device company based in Gainesville, Florida, has recently been granted two new patents that enhance the capabilities of their Newton soft tissue balancing device. These patents increase the range of position and orientation of mechanical actuators in the device, allowing for increased capability and protection for the future growth of Exactech’s Newton portfolio.
