Smith & Nephew enters co-marketing agreement with JointVue

Smith+Nephew has signed a co-marketing agreement with JointVue for its patented OrthoSonic3D Surgery Planning Technology, the only ultrasound device currently on the market to deliver 3D preoperative planning. JointVue’s technology allows surgeons using Smith+Nephew’s CORI Surgical System for robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty to create a personalized surgical plan, which may provide opportunities to improve patient satisfaction and operating room efficiency. Pre-operative surgical planning provides the surgeon with information about the patient’s anatomy to help the surgeon determine the preferred implants before the surgery begins. This foresight helps to enable just-in-time delivery of implants and instruments, helping to conserve space and reduce both operating room time and sterilization costs. The combination of JointVue’s OrthoSonic technology with Smith+Nephew’s CORI Surgical System, known for its small footprint and scalability, offers an ideal solution for Ambulatory Surgery Centers where OR space is limited.
