- The insert is compatible with the ApolloKnee robotic platform from Corin.
Corin announced FDA 510(k) clearance of its Unity Knee medial constrained tibial insert, which is compatible with its robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty platform, ApolloKnee, according to a company press release.
The Unity Knee medial constrained (MC) tibial insert, which can be used in standard or robotic procedures, allows surgeons to independently stabilize the medial compartment during TKA, according to the release.
“Studies have demonstrated that a balanced joint has a greater impact on total knee replacement outcomes than component alignment alone,” Christopher Plaskos, PhD, vice president of global clinical innovation at Corin, said in the release. “Combining Unity Knee MC with the robotic soft tissue balancing capabilities of ApolloKnee, a new level of natural joint kinematics and stability can be achieved throughout the range of motion. We believe this will provide patients with a more natural feeling knee.”
According to the release, the Unity Knee MC tibial insert is available through a limited market release in the U.S.
