OrthoSonic 3D surgery planning technology delivers pre-operative planning for orthopedic procedures. The technology allows surgeons using the Smith+Nephew Cori surgical robot for knee arthroplasty to create a personalized plan. This could enable improved patient satisfaction and operating room efficiency.
Combining OrthoSonic with Cori — a robotic system with a small footprint and scalability — provides an ideal solution for ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) with limited operating room space, Smith+Nephew said in a news release.
The Cori system — which is featured on MassDevice’s list of surgical robotic technology you need to know — offers proprietary tools and AI-driven software. Across the full suite of procedure solutions, its platform delivers flexibility and scalability for joint arthroplasty indications. Smith+Nephew launched pre-operative planning and modeling services for the platform earlier this year as well.
JointVue’s OrthoSonic technology allows surgeons and patients to get a 3D look inside their knee at the clinic in minutes. It also eliminates the need for radiation, replacing a trip to the imaging center prior to surgery. With this option for Smith+Nephew implants, surgeons can access an additional procedural solution using ultrasound to generate a 3D plan within minutes. It allows them to tailor the procedure uniquely to each patient.
“The addition of JointVue’s technology further expands the imaging modalities available to Smith+Nephew customers for pre-op robotic planning,” said Mayank Shandil, global SVP of Recon and Robotics Marketing for Smith+Nephew. “The combination of JointVue with the Cori surgical system for robotic-assisted knee replacement provides a personalized solution for surgeons and patients and is a perfect fit for the growing ASC market.”
