Osso VR has announced the launch of a virtual reality training tool that allows health care professionals to experience the SuperPath hip technique and Evolution medial-pivot knee system by MicroPort Orthopedics, according to a release.
The VR training platform is an immersive training environment, designed with haptic-enhanced interactions to help surgeons increase confidence in these techniques at their own pace.
“We’re committed to improving outcomes for patients through democratized access to high-value systems like SuperPath and Evolution. This partnership with MicroPort Orthopedics increases access to a wider library of surgical techniques while also supporting controlled, high-quality outcomes for patients,” Justin Barad, MD, co-founder and CEO of Osso VR, said in the release. “As we face unprecedented challenges in the ‘new normal’ in the COVID era, remote VR training and assessment has proven to be a critical tool in ensuring health care professionals continue to have safe access to the highest value techniques for their patients,” he added.
The SuperPath technique is a portal assisted THA performed without cutting through muscle or tendon. The Evolution knee system is a functionality-restoring knee instability solution that allows for a faster return to full range of motion, according to the release.
