OMNIlife science™, Inc. Surpasses 17,000 Procedures Milestone for OMNIBotics® Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacements
RAYNHAM, Mass., Oct. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — OMNIlife science, Inc. (“OMNI™”), an established medical technology company targeting the $15 billion global hip and knee replacement device market, announced today that surgeons have completed more than 17,000 total knee replacements worldwide using the OMNIBotics robotic-assisted total knee replacement technology platform. The OMNIBotics system enables optimized implant placement using robotics driven by OMNI’s proprietary ART™ software. Surgeons can efficiently plan a procedure that is specific to each patient using a patented intra-operative 3-D modeling technique that eliminates the need for preoperative CT scans or x-rays. This results in a more precise alignment of the knee implant that many surgeons believe can lead to more rapid recovery and a more natural feeling knee replacement.
In addition to the clinical benefits, the OMNIBotics system provides proven savings per episode of care through a reduced learning curve for the surgeon and O.R. staff as well as a fast case-to-case turnaround and a compact physical footprint which improves efficiency. There is no capital investment cost for the hospital and no annual maintenance or software upgrade fees. This makes the OMNIBotics system a more cost-effective way for healthcare providers to offer robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery to their patients.
“As one of the first surgeons to adopt OMNIBotics and having performed more than 1500 procedures, this significant milestone validates my experience with the technology,” said Ronald LaButti, DO, FAOAO, orthopedic surgeon with Advanced Orthopedics of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa, OK. “I am committed to providing orthopedic care that is second to none and find that the precision of the OMNIBotics patient-specific procedure enables my patients to recover more quickly and results in excellent clinical outcomes as well as very satisfied patients.”
Market research estimates that in the next 5 years, more than 20% of total knee replacement procedures will be performed using robotic-assistance. OMNI has anticipated this demand and is focused on designing breakthrough complementary technologies like their recently FDA cleared Active Spacer which, for the first time, provides the surgeon with a quantitative tool to actively manage the tension on ligaments and pressures in the knee joint itself with dynamic real-time feedback.
“OMNI has been at the forefront of robotic-assisted total knee replacement technology since the initial introduction of our first robotic total knee systems in 2010 and passing this 17,000 robotic- assisted TKA procedure milestone shows that we are still going strong,” stated Carl Knobloch, OMNI’s Vice President of Marketing. “We continue to see increased interest in our latest OMNIBotics technology from surgeons, patients and hospitals. With the pending addition to the OMNIBotics platform of our recently FDA cleared Active Spacer robotic soft tissue balancing technology, we expect the rate of adoption and case volumes to increase significantly in the coming year.
