Conformis Inc. has announced FDA 510(k) clearance of the Identity Imprint total knee replacement system, according to a press release.
The system, which is available in cruciate retaining and posterior stabilized versions, is designed for pre-determined implant sizes combined with standard and patient-specific surgical instrumentation for a more efficient intraoperative experience, according to the release.
“Our Identity Imprint knee system is a tremendous new addition to our product portfolio that leverages our technical innovations and data from tens of thousands of personalized implant designs. It is a terrific option for those surgeons who want more traditional intraoperative flexibility and faster product availability. We will be able to provide a patient-matched Identity Imprint system in 3 weeks vs. the 6 weeks lead time for the iTotal Identity fully personalized system,” Mark Augusti, president and CEO of Conformis, said in the release. “This offering is extremely well-positioned to meet the needs of the ASC care setting but will provide value to in-patient hospital care as well, especially in the post-COVID environment. Importantly, it also provides surgeons and their patients a new choice among Conformis’ world-class treatment options.”
