Smith & Nephew announced an agreement with OrthoSensor that will enable surgeons to benefit from OrthoSensor’s Verasense Sensor Assisted Surgery Technology for soft tissue balancing when implanting Smith & Nephew’s Journey II and Legion Total Knee Systems.

According to the release, Verasense uses advanced sensor technologies to enable evidence-based surgical decisions regarding component position, limb alignment and soft tissue balance to optimize outcomes in total knee replacement. The system provides surgeons with real-time, quantitative data to enable evidence-based, intraoperative decisions regarding component position, limb alignment and soft tissue releases to achieve balance and stability through a full range of motion.

“Our Journey II Total Knee System with Verilast Technology is already delivering improved knee motion, patient function and implant wear reduction,” Gaurav Agarwal, president of orthopaedic reconstruction for Smith & Nephew, stated in a company press release. “By combining our innovations with Verasense’s exacting component placement and soft tissue balancing our surgeons can deliver even more benefits to patients.”
