ConforMIS Inc. has announced the commercial availability of its iTotal G2 Knee Replacement System.
According to a company press release, the iTotal G2 incorporates improvements to the implants, instrumentation and patient specific planning guides based on a year’s worth of surgeon feedback. Developed on the foundation of the company’s patented iFit technology for designing patient-specific implants and jigs, each iTotal G2 precisely fits an individual patient based on their CT scan.
“The iTotal G2 is the most advanced and innovative knee system that ConforMIS has introduced,” Philipp Lang, chief executive officer of ConforMIS, stated in the release. “Our technology preserves more of a patient’s natural anatomy and their individual shape than it possible with off-the-shelf systems.”
Additionally, according to the press release, one reusable instrument tray is required at the hospital for the iTotal G2, providing an efficient system that reduces the hospital inventory management, transport and sterilization costs.
