Zimmer Biomet and Surgical Planning Associates signed an agreement to commercialize HipInsight, a mixed reality navigation system for total hip replacements.
HipInsight is designed for Zimmer Biomet's hip implant portfolio and lets surgeons use Microsoft HoloLens 2 glasses to see a hologram of a patient's anatomy during surgery, according to a Sept. 1 news release.
"The addition of HipInsight to our mixed reality portfolio advances our commitment to transform the surgical experience with the latest innovative technologies to help surgeons improve accuracy, strive for better outcomes and optimize efficiency during total hip arthroplasty," Nitin Goyal, MD, Zimmer Biomet's chief science, technology and innovation officer, said in the release. "This collaboration enables us to offer surgeons a sophisticated and proven mixed reality-based visualization tool customized for exclusive use with our hip implant portfolio."
