OrthoGrid Systems launches noninvasive fluoroscopic guide for THR

OrthoGrid Systems Inc. recently announced the launch of the HipGrid Drone, an intraoperative radiographic alignment solution to be used for both anterior and posterior approaches to total hip replacement.

“This is not simply a new product,” Edouard Saget, co-founder of OrthoGrid Systems Inc., stated in a company release. “It is the transformation into a complete system of what our surgeons are already calling an elegant and simple solution.”

The HipGrid Drone is a reusable device designed to make surgery easier and simpler for teams to replicate. According to the release, the HipGrid Drone works with standard C-arms available in most ORs and surgeons can use either the HipGrid TearDrop Target or TearDrop Vector techniques to cater to surgical preference and fluoroscope type.

The HipGrid Drone is currently scheduled for commercial release in the fourth quarter of 2015.

“After years of observing this technology at work, we are confident that any surgeon trialing the new HipGrid Drone will discover new information that enhances the quality of intraoperative assessment of key elements of total hip surgery,” Richard Boddington, co-founder of OrthoGrid Systems Inc., stated in the release. “This technology is valuable to physician and patient alike because it eliminates as much guesswork and judgment as possible from the surgical procedure. We strongly believe HipGrid Drone is the most reproducible and cost-effective solution to achieve quality outcomes on a routine basis. OrthoGrid has succeeded in bringing a maximum value proposition to this specific segment of the orthopedic industry.”
