Zimmer Biomet Device Lands FDA Clearance

Zimmer Biomet Device Lands FDA Clearance Indiana's medical device industry is widely known as one of the strongest in the world.

Warsaw-based Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ZBH) has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance for a device used in shoulder reconstruction surgery. The medical device manufacturer says it has also completed the first surgical case using the Comprehensive Augmented Baseplate.

The device is the latest by Zimmer Biomet to receive FDA clearance. The company announced in January its Sidus Stem-Free Shoulder system also received the clearance.
