Blue Belt Technologies announced that the first unicondylar knee replacement using its Navio system was performed in France at Hospices Civils de Lyon.
The Navio surgical system is the next generation of precision orthopedic surgery with an initial indication for unicondylar knee replacement procedures. There is a potential for further procedure development in the future.
The system is designed to provide image-free navigation and planning for precisely aligned implants. A robotic-controlled Navio handpiece is used to resurface the damaged bone and prepare it for implantation.
