Gainesville, Florida-based Exactech designed the evidence-based, streamlined solution to address the increasing demands of knee replacement. Orthopedic surgeons Dr. Chris Christensen and Dr. David Taunton performed the first TriVerse knee surgeries. Christensen operates out of Bluegrass Orthopaedics in Lexington, Kentucky. Taunton works at Texas Orthopedic Specialists in Bedford, Texas.
“Efficiency and flexibility are of paramount importance to me and my O.R. staff. Exactech’s TriVerse Knee system has been designed with a streamlined, simplified approach while offering a comprehensive array of primary knee implants that give me the best of both worlds,” said Christensen.
Taunton added that TriVerse’s design “leans on the successful clinical heritage” of previous systems. He said it provides surgeons with familiar efficiency and patients with a successful clinical design.
The simplicity and intraoperative flexibility of Exactech’s new knee system facilitates the same-day surgery that my patients desire and provides a modern implant construct that meets the needs of their active lifestyles,” Taunton said.
TriVerse features anterior stabilized and posterior stabilized constructs. It offers exclusive availability with highly crosslinked vitamin E polyethylene. Exactech plans to launch the implants alongside a full-featured set of mechanical instruments for same-day surgical environments. It intends to start with limited availability followed by a full launch in early 2024.
“TriVerse adds to the company’s advanced portfolio of knee solutions, including the award-winning Truliant primary and revision systems and integrated Newton ligament balancing platform, providing yet another tried-and-true system that helps address the challenging health landscape,” said Adam Hayden, CMO and SVP, large joints business unit at Exactech.
