The launch is taking place in EMEA and APAC countries. It follows the first surgery in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month, leveraging the company’s Active Intelligence suite, which uses ExactechGPS and the Equinoxe planning app.
“ExactechGPS is designed to dramatically improve accuracy. The human eye allows implant placement by even the most experienced surgeons, to within 3 to 5 millimeters. However, with the guidance of GPS technology, more precise implant placement, within 1-2 mm, is possible,” said UAE-based British orthopedic and trauma surgeon Dr. Ved Goswami of Medclinic City Hospital. Goswami performed the recent surgery with assistance from U.S. shoulder and elbow surgeon Dr. Stephanie Muh, of Henry Ford Health.
The U.S. release of v2.2 was last week. It included a new web upload feature that enables surgeons and hospital staff to upload shoulder CT scans for reconstruction through the web.
The EMEA and APAC release includes:
- Upgrades to the user interface, visualization tools and additional views;
- Verification of final implant placement for reverse and anatomic shoulder procedures
- Integration with Exactech’s Ergo shoulder instrumentation;
- Wireless transmissions of case reports, including screenshots of steps and final implant placement, through the AI Surgeon dashboard.
