Device Description

The Ascension® NuGrip® is an uncemented, one-component prosthesis for the basal thumb joint. It has a proximal head that articulates against the trapezium, a planar collar that provides for a simple planar bone resection, and an anatomic shaped stem that is press fit into the canal of the first metacarpal following resection of the base. It is fabricated from a thick pyrocarbon layer encasing a graphite core that is impregnated with one-atomic percent tungsten so it is radiopaque. The Ascension® NuGrip® is intended to replace the proximal end of the first metacarpal in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis or post fracture deformation or bone loss which present as either a painful, unstable thumb, or a thumb with limited range of motion.
