OMNIlife science Marks Nearly 4,000 U.S. OMNIPlasty™ Procedures
Platform for Robotic Total Knee Replacement in the U.S. Grows in Popularity
EAST TAUNTON, Mass., Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OMNIlife science, Inc. ("OMNI™"), an established medical technology company targeting the $15 billion global hip and knee replacement device market, announces surgeons have completed over 4,000 total knee replacements in the U.S. using the OMNIPlasty™ technique. OMNIPlasty is a total knee replacement procedure that uses robotics, driven by the OMNI ART™ software platform, to optimize implant placement. Surgeons can meticulously plan and execute a procedure that is specific to each patient using a patented intra-operative 3-D modeling technique that is not dependent on pre-operative CT scans or x-rays.
In 2012, OMNI upgraded its orthopaedic navigation platform in anticipation of expansion into the U.S. markets. The sleek, modular hardware design of the OMNINAV™ station and the OMNI ART software application that drives the robotics, uniquely qualifies OMNI to offer robotically optimized implant positioning in total knee replacement procedures.
The OMNI ART software is designed for flexibility and customization to any surgeon's particular philosophy, which may result in increased efficiency. Dr. Corey Ponder from Oklahoma Sports & Orthopedics Institute in Oklahoma City states, "The flexibility we have achieved using OMNI ART software is significant. When changes need to be made during surgery because of unforeseen circumstances, we are able to handle them easily and efficiently. When you combine that time savings with the robotic precision of OMNIPlasty, you have then taken total knee replacement to another level."
OMNI expects the demand for robotic precision in the total knee replacement market to increase dramatically. Currently, OMNIPlasty surgeons are anxious to further their successes with the new platform. OMNI is dedicated to adopting novel technologies and designing high-performance implants. It is innovation from OMNI and partnership with surgeons that make OMNIPlasty possible.
"The new OMNINAV station has the look and feel of the future in orthopaedic navigation, which is validated by its extreme level of performance and accuracy. OMNIPlasty offers the only robotically assisted total knee replacement technology on the market, which provides my patients with a custom-tailored solution for their knee arthritis problems," states Dr. Jan Koenig of Winthrop University Hospital in Long Island.
"OMNI has always been on the cutting edge with its knee and hip replacement products. I am pleased to see they have upped their game by providing surgeons with a sophisticated tool to optimize implant placement. The results achieved with OMNIPlasty in my practice are outstanding, and appear more so than other methods, including methods where computer navigation was used," states Dr. Leonid Dabuzhsky of Quincy Medical Center in Quincy, MA.
