Conformis (NSDQ:CFMS) this week launched its Cordera Match hip system in the U.S.
The Cordera Match Hip System is an uncemented, primary total hip replacement system that features femoral and acetabular components. It is implanted using a surgeon-approved, personalized surgical plan and patient-specific instrumentation.
“Our new Cordera Match hip system begins the expansion of our growing total hip portfolio. The system, which is inserted using either an anterior or posterior surgical approach, is designed to allow more surgeons to treat a wider range of hip patients effectively,” president and CEO Mark Augusti said in a news release. “Over the next year, we plan to launch multiple product extensions featuring the Cordera stem. With this first offering, surgeons who like to operate with the Cordera stem will benefit from the significant value provided by Conformis’ personalized surgical plan and best-in-class PSI guides, all delivered through a safe, sterile, and efficient model for hospitals and ASC sites of care.”
Comformis engineers designed the Cordera Match iView surgical plan and iJigs using unique patient anatomies. Surgeons then have the option to adjust the surgical plan before approving the order.
iView provides a digitally reconstructed radiograph, which is a simulated full pelvis image created from the CT scan. The image is alighted parallel to the anterior superior iliac spine to reduce the possibility of a tilted pelvis to provide more precise measurements.
