Smith+Nephew Launches CORI Surgical System Across Europe
Igniting Innovation in Robotics-Assisted Surgery
Smith+Nephew (LSE:SN, NYSE:SNN), a leader in medical technology, has recently undertaken an exciting initiative, showcasing its CORI Surgical System through a roadshow in central Europe. This cutting-edge robotics-assisted platform is specially designed to transform hip and knee joint replacement surgeries, and the tour is set to make a significant impact.
Beginning in Berlin, this extensive roadshow will travel across various surgical clinics in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, with dozens of scheduled stops. The culmination of this effort will occur at the DKOU 2025, the largest orthopaedics congress in Europe, also held in Berlin, marking an opportune moment for Smith+Nephew to demonstrate the capabilities of its innovative system.
The tour aims to engage surgeons, operating room staff, and administrators at clinics that may not yet have transitioned to robotics in their replacement procedures. Participants will have the opportunity to attend private workshops focused on the CORI Surgical System, allowing them to explore its functionalities in-depth.
Exploring the Features of the CORI Surgical System
The CORI Surgical System is characterized by its advanced features that offer surgeons a more personalized surgical experience. This state-of-the-art platform utilizes innovative technology, such as image-agnostic smart mapping, which allows for the capturing of 3D joint models during surgery, intra-operative gap balancing, and real-time surgical planning.
Key Features Include:
Smart Technology: The system's image-agnostic registration helps to ensure optimal alignment and balance during procedures, enhancing surgical outcomes.
Efficiency: Featuring an ergonomic handpiece designed for enhanced performance, the CORI Surgical System boasts a cutting volume improvement that is twice that of conventional tools, allowing for a 29% reduction in resection time in total knee arthroplasty, offering time savings for surgical teams.
Compact Design: The system's small footprint allows it to fit comfortably in crowded operating room environments, making it an excellent choice for clinics looking to optimize space while enhancing their surgical capabilities.
Expanding Capabilities for Joint Replacement
Smith+Nephew continues to enhance the capabilities of the CORI Surgical System beyond just traditional joint replacement capabilities. Recent innovations now accommodate total, partial, and revision knee systems, integrating both cemented and cementless primary knee implant technologies. Additionally, it supports various approaches for total hip arthroplasty.
Another exciting feature is the CORI Virtual Planner, an interactive software tool that aids surgeons in developing and refining surgical plans tailored to their patients’ unique needs.
