Smith+Nephew partners with JointVue™ for Ultrasound preoperative planning in robotics-assisted surgery
Patented technology further personalizes total knee arthroplasty for surgeons and patients
Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), the global medical technology company, today announces it has signed a co-marketing agreement with JointVue for its patented OrthoSonic™ 3D Surgery Planning Technology – the only ultrasound device currently on the market to deliver 3D preoperative planning. JointVue’s technology allows surgeons using Smith+Nephew’s CORI◊ Surgical System for robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty to create a personalized surgical plan, which may provide opportunities to improve patient satisfaction and operating room efficiency.
Pre-operative surgical planning provides the surgeon with information about the patient's anatomy to help the surgeon determine the preferred implants before the surgery begins. This foresight helps to enable just-in-time delivery of implants and instruments, helping to conserve space and reduce both operating room (OR) time and sterilization costs. The combination of JointVue’s OrthoSonic technology with Smith+Nephew’s CORI Surgical System, known for its small footprint and scalability, offers an ideal solution for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) where OR space is limited.
The CORI Surgical System stands out in the market with its image-agnostic registration capabilities, offering both image-free and MRI-powered options for pre-operative planning. Now, with the exclusive adoption of JointVue’s OrthoSonic 3D Surgery Planning Technology for Smith+Nephew implants, surgeons have access to an additional procedural solution that utilizes ultrasound to generate a 3D plan within minutes. This radiation-free, automated planning tool guides surgeons to tailor the procedure uniquely to each patient.
“JointVue’s OrthoSonic technology allows surgeons and patients to get a 3D look inside their knee at the clinic in minutes without radiation - replacing a trip to the imaging center as they get ready for surgery,” said Steven MacDonald, MD, and CEO of JointVue. “The 3D image and automated planning tool helps orthopaedic surgeons personalize the procedure uniquely for each patient.”
As the field of robotic-assisted knee surgery continues to evolve, the demand for solutions that cater to diverse patient profiles, coupled with advanced planning and execution tools, is paramount in personalizing surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery can significantly enhance accuracy and reproducibility, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes compared to conventional techniques.1-3
“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.”
