Conformis has launched its new Imprint knee system. The made-to-measure Imprint system is now Confirmis’ primary knee offering.
The fully personalized iTotal Identity system is available as a deluxe services upgrade option within the company’s Image-to-Implant platinum services program.
“We have been pleased with the surgeon feedback that we’ve received to date, and we are excited to see continued adoption of our Imprint system which reflects our business model transition,” Mark Augusti, president and CEO of Conformis told the press. “By introducing the new Made-to-Measure category of TKA systems, we created a new standard for personalization with the lower manufacturing cost and faster delivery time of typical fully custom products.”
Imprint’s data-informed design is based on analysis and subsequent standardizing of key variables behind the company’s over 85,000 personalized implants made to date. Imprint starts with a CT scan to capture critical measurements for a complete 3D view of each patient’s joint. Advanced AI-based software then chooses the optimal implant size among the 12 options available.
“My early Imprint experience has been incredibly positive, it was a simple transition from previously using just Identity to offering both personalized options,” said Dr. Ed Rossario MD, a Board-Certified orthopedic surgeon at Coastal Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine and Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Florida State University. “I believe that Conformis’ data-driven design and planning algorithm helps me achieve optimal implant fit and placement for my patients. Their delivery model is driving decreased sterilization expenses and increased efficiency in my ASC.”
“Conformis’ novel Made-to-Measure option enables a far greater level of personalization than traditional off-the-shelf alternatives, improving fit, bone coverage, and natural joint motion,” said James Paiva, Conformis’ VP of marketing. “Our top objectives are to continue the ramp of adoption of our new Imprint system, which now represents over 70% of our US knee orders, and to expand our surgeon base, particularly in the ASC market. Complemented by our novel Platinum Services upgrade option, we now offer the most comprehensive portfolio of genuinely personalized solutions in total knee replacement.”
