FDA approved prosthetic implant for above-the-knee amputations
On Dec. 18, 2020, the FDA approved the Osseoanchored Prostheses for the Rehabilitation of Amputees (OPRA) Implant System, the first implant system marketed in the U.S. for adults who have transfemoral�or above-the-knee�amputations and who have or are anticipated to have rehabilitation problems with, or cannot use, a conventional socket prosthesis.
The OPRA Implant System has been on the market under a humanitarian device exemption since 2015. The OPRA Implant System is manufactured by Integrum AB in M�lndal, Sweden.
