PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS, N.J., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Onkos Surgical today announced the market release of the ELEOS^TM Total Femoral Adapter with NanoCept® Antibacterial Technology, expanding the availability of NanoCept for patients undergoing one of the most complex and high-risk orthopaedic reconstruction procedures.

Since its introduction in December 2024, NanoCept Antibacterial Technology has been available on ELEOS implant midsections used in complex knee and hip reconstructions. To date, more than 500 patients have received ELEOS implants featuring NanoCept.

The launch of the ELEOS Total Femoral Adapter with NanoCept further expands the portfolio to support patients requiring complete femoral replacement.

“It is incredibly reassuring to know that patients requiring a total femoral replacement will now have access to antibacterial implants. Total femurs are among the most complex procedures we perform, and many of the patients who require them are already immunocompromised,” said Julia Visgauss, M.D., Chief of the Orthopaedic Oncology Division at Duke Health.

“Anything we can do to reduce risk and improve outcomes can make a meaningful difference in their recovery and quality of life. The innovation we’re seeing in this space is truly encouraging,” said Dr. Visgauss, who is also an investigator in a post-market study of NanoCept and has been a consultant for Onkos.

The ELEOS Total Femoral Adapter with NanoCept is the first product to be produced and coated at Onkos Surgical’s newly opened NanoCept Innovation Center in Bridgewater, New Jersey, marking an important milestone in the company’s efforts to expand access to NanoCept across the broader ELEOS product portfolio.

“Today is a real high point for Onkos,” said Patrick Treacy, CEO and Co-Founder of Onkos Surgical. “As we continue to expand the ELEOS with NanoCept product offering, it is fitting that we begin with Total Femoral Replacement, supporting some of the most vulnerable patients undergoing complex orthopaedic oncology and revision procedures.”

Onkos is continuing to expand the capabilities of its NanoCept Innovation Center, with plans to have the antibacterial coating available on additional ELEOS products in the coming months.

About NanoCept®

Onkos received De Novo market authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April of 2024 for its NanoCept Antibacterial Technology for use with the ELEOS™ Limb Salvage System. Pre-clinical testing showed that NanoCept Antibacterial Technology has up to a 99.999% (5-log reduction) kill rate of bacteria that are commonly found in the operating room environment.

The device coating is not intended for the treatment of existing infections or prevention of future infections in patients. The clinical impact of bacterial reduction from the NanoCept coating, including prevention of infection or reduction of infection risk in patients, has not been evaluated in human clinical studies.
