Lockdown Medical’s journey began in 1924 with A.W. Showell Ltd., a maker of haberdashery needles. The company evolved, eventually founding Lockdown Medical in 1993 to provide innovative orthopaedic products. It initially focused on trauma and rehab braces, before introducing the integrated interbody technology platform known as STALIF, alongside innovative devices like the LOM™ Lateral Ankle Brace and the ProGlider™ Walker.
Throughout its history, Lockdown Medical has upheld a commitment to quality and innovation, continually expanding its product range to serve the orthopaedic community.
Today, LockDown Surgical serves the US market with FDA-cleared solutions designed for orthopaedic excellence.
Currently, our core product LockDown LSSS™, is a double braided augmentation device, designed to provide fixation during the healing process following an acromioclavicular separation due to coracoclavicular ligament disruption.
With over 2,000 implantations globally every year, the Lockdown LSSS™ device offers excellent clinical results and patient satisfaction outcomes. A simple, reproducible surgical procedure requires no holes in the coracoid and a fast rehabilitation process.
The patient’s arm is supported by a sling at 2 weeks post operatively, and the most exacting activities (including contact sports) can be resumed after 12 weeks. FDA cleared and used widely across the United States and globally.
Lockdown Medical Ltd currently distributes products to Australia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Malaysia, Scandinavia, South Africa, UAE and the USA. We are currently seeking other distribution partners around the world. See our full distributor list here.
“Many surgeons first try LockDown as an alternative to other options and continue to use it because it works, the technique is quick, straightforward, reproducible and consistently delivers reliable results with an extremely low failure rate. Additionally, LockDown is versatile, making it suitable for both acute and chronic cases in one procedure and does not come with the complications commonly associated with other devices or techniques.”
“It is with much enthusiasm I am writing to support the inclusion of the Lockdown Shoulder Stabilisation System within our product basket offering to the South African Market.
The first case was done in October 2013, and now 11 years later we have established the Lockdown as the “go-to” for ACJ dislocations. The straight-forward surgical technique, reproducible results and early patient mobilisation allow an easy return to life, which contribute to its continued success in this competitive market. The strength of the Lockdown, with load to failure of 1730N, makes it the clear leader.
We find that we also have a useful revision market established by failed competitor product surgeries.”
“One of my patients recently described the LockDown procedure as life-changing for her dislocated acromioclavicular joint. At just four weeks post-op, she’s off her sling and back to daily activities, eager to return to Pilates and the gym. This aligns with my decade-long experience using LockDown – when applied to the right cases, it truly makes a remarkable difference in recovery and quality of life.”
“LockDown™ was first introduced as a method of addressing failed ACJ surgery and this was how I was introduced to the technique. It has since gained popularity as a primary method of stabilizing the disrupted ACJ and I have routinely used it as my first choice for ACJ reconstruction for over 6 years.”
“The operation was very straightforward and I left hospital the following morning in a sling but my range of motion was back straight away. I think the best recommendation I can give for this product, and the confidence I now have, is that prior to the injury I wore shoulder protection and for the past four years, since recovering from the surgery, I have not worn any.”
“The operation was without incident and I was up and about within hours.
I started my rehabilitation with light mobilisation physio and was back in training after 12 weeks. Not only would I recommend the procedure to another player but if I injured my other shoulder I would have the same operation without any hesitation. My shoulder has never been an issue in training or when out on the field at Club or International level”
