A. The stent is made of titanium and this is the best material used in the body. People do not form allergic reactions to it. It is possible for a patient to have a synoviitis, which is the chronic inflammation in the sinus tarsi due to the repeated injury to the joint complex, but this is NOT an allergic reaction to HyProCure. Furthermore, sometimes patients will have a clear drainage coming from the incision, this is because the skin is not completely healed and fluid will "leak-out" until the skin edges are healed.

A. Yes, there really is a difference, it may seem like they are all the same but this is absolutely not the case. There are several unique characteristics of HyProCure. It’s evident that the overall shape of HyProCure is different from any other device currently on the market. The other devices are either cylinders or cones, they are laterally anchored, the tip of the device is placed at the “50 yard line” or at the bisection of the talus, and finally the other devices are placed from lateral to medial. HyProCure is the combination of cylinder-cone-cylinder to really provide a complete anatomic fit to the whole sinus tarsi. These core differences in implant design are what make HyProCure's success rate and patient candidacy so dramatically superior to anything else on the market.
