FDA clears preoperative orthopedic surgical planning mobile device

LAS VEGAS — Voyant Health announced it has received FDA clearance for TraumaCad Mobile, a mobile solution for preoperative orthopedic surgical planning and digital templating.

TraumaCad Mobile, which will be demonstrated at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Annual Meeting here, is designed to bring flexibility to health care professionals and orthopedic surgeons in conducting preoperative planning of total hip replacement surgery.

The app features auto hip replacement planning capabilities, device independence, automatic calibration, a comprehensive template library, and collaboration and inventory management capabilities, and it can be used for an enterprise or a single-user, according to a company press release.

“For over a decade, thousands of orthopedic surgeons have been using our TraumaCad technology to plan surgery. In the past several years, mobile devices have transformed how surgeons and health care professionals work by enhancing data access and productivity,” Marc Mackey, general manager of orthopedics at Brainlab, said in the release. “With the mobile version of TraumaCad, digital templating can now be accessed from any web browser or iPad, enabling surgeons to be more productive while also providing access to data for better inventory management.”
