Subtalar implants (non-bioabsorbable) are surgical devices placed into the heel or sinus tarsi to correct abnormal foot alignment, such as hyperpronation or flat feet. They provide mechanical support to stabilize the subtalar joint without fusing it, helping restore natural foot function during movement.
These implants are typically regulated as surgical implants and may require pre-market approval or classification based on jurisdiction. They are usually supplied sterile and intended for professional use by orthopedic surgeons or foot specialists, with materials like titanium or polyethylene ensuring durability and compatibility with bone.
