MicroPort Orthopedics has expanded its partnership with Pixee Medical to commercialize a shared surgical solution for total knee arthroplasty.
Using Pixee's augmented reality surgical technology, physicians can have better precision and control when implanting MicroPort's Evolution Medial-Pivot Knee Implant, according to a Nov. 3 press release from MicroPort. The solution is currently used in Australia, Europe and Asia.
The technology will be presented to U.S. surgeons for the first time at an annual conference Nov. 3-6.
"Combining MicroPort's innovative devices and our platform is allowing patients, worldwide, access to surgery solutions that provide them with a faster recovery," Sébastien Henry, Pixee Medical CEO, said in the release. "Companies partnering in this orthopedic ecosystem are providing options to patients that weren't available before now to improve their recovery and overall quality of life."
