Dr Coope began a collaboration in 2010 with Dr Robert Meek, professor emeritus of orthopaedic trauma and retired trauma surgeon at Vancouver Hospital, to address how put a long enough implant inside the curved bone of the pelvis to provide stable fixation. A device was developed that could be inserted in a flexible state and stiffed once in place. This is being commercialized by CurvaFix, a Seattle start up, which as of March 2019 has received FDA 510(k) and Health Canada clearance for the Intramedullary RodScrew. First-in-human trials are planned for summer 2019.
