Treace Announces First Surgical Cases with the SuperBite™ Compression Screw System
New portfolio addition taps into incremental procedures throughout the foot and ankle; strengthens Treace’s comprehensive suite of technologies for its growing customer base
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (“Treace” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities, today announced the successful completion of the first cases utilizing its SuperBite™ Compression Screw System.
SuperBite™ screws are engineered to deliver advanced compression through a variable thread pitch and optimized headless design, with its self-drilling and countersinking features enabling rapid screw insertion. The screw implants also incorporate a beveled head design with smoothed edges, making them ideal for both minimally invasive and traditional open surgical approaches. The SuperBite™ system offers comprehensive screw diameters ranging from 2.5mm to 7.0mm to address a broad range of foot & ankle surgical applications across the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot.
Anne Holly Johnson, MD, of Hospital for Special Surgery (New York, New York) and a member of Treace’s Surgeon Advisory Board, performed the first cases with the new SuperBite™ screws. She commented, “My first cases with the SuperBite™ screws were very successful. I was impressed with the streamlined insertion and great compression. Compression screws are the most common fixation used in foot and ankle surgery, and I plan to use the SuperBite™ screws in many different fusion and osteotomy applications.”
“The launch of SuperBite™ represents an important milestone in the expansion of our market-leading bunion & midfoot technology portfolio,” said John T. Treace, CEO and Chairman of Treace. “SuperBite™ allows our direct sales team to more fully service our 3,300+ surgeon customers technology needs, not only in the procedures they perform with us today, but also a significant volume of incremental procedures throughout the foot and ankle where compression screws are utilized. We believe SuperBite™ screws will expand our addressable market, accelerate our case volumes, and grow our customer share of wallet, all while further advancing our position as a 1-stop-shop for our customers.”
Full commercialization of the SuperBite™ Compression Screw System is anticipated in the third quarter of 2026. Along with its other expected 2026 product launch, the SpeedXM™ Midfoot Fusion System, the two products are expected to increase Treace’s total addressable market by an estimated $300 million.
