Problem
Orthopedic revision surgeries, required when hip, knee, or shoulder implants fail, are complex and challenging procedures. A significant difficulty lies in the removal of bone cement, used for implant fixation, which is hard to extract and can lead to complications, prolonged surgical times, and increased costs.
Solution
Amotio provides a patient-specific surgical system designed to improve the safety and efficacy of bone cement removal during orthopedic revision surgeries. The system utilizes digital joint mapping and templating based on patient CT scans to create a personalized surgical plan. This plan is then used to 3D-print an intelligent surgical guide and a precision-guided bone cement removal device. The surgical guide ensures accurate placement and navigation, while the removal device allows for targeted and efficient cement extraction, reducing surgical complexity and improving patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons specializing in revision surgeries of the hip, knee, and shoulder, as well as hospitals and healthcare providers seeking to improve patient outcomes and reduce the complexity and costs associated with these procedures.
