FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- THINK Surgical, Inc., an innovator in the field of orthopedic surgical robots, today announced that it will enter into a new Collaboration Agreement with Maxx Orthopedics, Inc. (Norristown, PA), a rapidly expanding global orthopedics device company. Through this collaboration, THINK Surgical will add Maxx Orthopedics' implants, including the Freedom^® Knee System, to THINK Surgical's ID-HUB™, a proprietary database of implant modules for use with its TMINI™ Miniature Robotic System.

THINK Surgical is committed to providing open platform orthopedic surgical robots that support implants from multiple manufactures. To further this commitment, THINK is pleased to add Maxx Orthopedics implants to its ID-HUB database which already includes five implant systems from four other implant manufacturers. Adding another implant partner's products to the ID-HUB database enhances customer's choice of implant options when using the TMINI system.

The TMINI system includes a wireless robotic handpiece that assists surgeons in performing total knee replacement and first received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA in April 2023. The addition of the Freedom Knee System to THINK Surgical's ID HUB database will allow Maxx Orthopedics customers in the U.S. access to robotic assisted technology for total knee replacement. The development of the implant module has already started and THINK Surgical will be seeking FDA clearance in the coming months for use of the TMINI System with the Freedom Knee System.

"We are delighted to welcome Maxx Orthopedics to the TMINI platform. Their commitment to delivering creative and efficient solutions to customers complements THINK Surgical's mission to provide customers with greater choice in patient treatment options," said Stuart Simpson, president, and chief executive officer of THINK Surgical.

"We are excited about the strategic partnership with THINK Surgical. Delivering affordable innovation to our surgeons and patients is very important to us. The TMINI System is the one of several key technologies designed to enhance the surgeon experience with our knee reconstruction solutions. I believe surgeons will see real value using our proven Freedom Knee System with THINK Surgical's technology," said Ashesh Shah, chief executive officer of Maxx Orthopedics.
