Zimmer Biomet (ZBH) Signs Co-Marketing Agreement for HipInsight
Read MoreHide Full Article
Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (ZBH - Free Report) recently inked an exclusive, multi-year co-marketing agreement with Surgical Planning Associates, Inc. to commercialize the FDA-approved HipInsight mixed reality navigation system for total hip replacement. The novel mixed reality navigation system has been tailored particularly for Zimmer Biomet's hip implant portfolio.
The HipInsight is the most recent addition to the OptiVu Mixed Reality portfolio of applications. This addition has strengthened the capabilities of ZBEdge suite of integrated smart, digital and robotic technologies, which are intended to deliver transformative data-powered insights to optimize patient outcomes.
Per Zimmer Biomet's management, the addition of HipInsight to the mixed reality portfolio has advanced the company’s commitment to transforming the surgical experience with the latest innovative technologies that assist surgeons in enhancing accuracy, striving for better outcomes and optimizing efficiency during total hip arthroplasty.
The latest collaboration will allow Zimmer Biomet to provide surgeons with a sophisticated and proven mixed reality-based visualization tool designed specifically for exclusive use with its hip implant portfolio.
More on the HipInsight
The HipInsight utilizes Microsoft HoloLens 2 glasses to help surgeons visualize a hologram of the patient's pelvic anatomy. The hologram will be projected on the pelvis to aid in implant placement and alignment during surgery. The HipInsight is unlike other traditional intraoperative surgical navigation systems that deliver information on flat screens outside the surgeon's view.
The HipInsight System creates a detailed 3D surgical plan based on Computed Tomography (CT) that consists of crucial details for accurate and efficient implant positioning, including planned component size, pelvic tilt, leg length and offset change. The HipInsight system leverages mixed-reality glasses and the position of a smart registration tool to overlay holograms in real-time on the patient’s anatomy during surgery. This will help surgeons proceed with the surgical plan in direct view.
