Ortho Development Corporation has forged a distribution partnership with Naviswiss, a Swiss-based technology company. The collaboration aims to improve the accuracy, predictability, and documentation of hip and knee arthroplasty outcomes in the United States.
The partnership combines Ortho Development’s 29 years of clinical success in hip and knee arthroplasty and Naviswiss’ miniaturized hand-held navigation solutions. Naviswiss Hip provides both landmark- and CT-based navigation. Naviplan, a pre-operative planning tool, enables reviewing and fine-tuning of the pre-operative plan. The plan can then be transferred to the Naviswiss System and used during surgery for controlled and accurate execution.
"This partnership with Naviswiss is our next step in offering surgeons, hospitals and surgery centers a comprehensive suite of efficient, cost-saving technology solutions," Ortho Development President Brent Bartholomew said. "We are excited to couple our clinically proven implants with this groundbreaking tool for the execution of surgical workflows with enhanced accuracy and flexibility.”
Naviswiss Knee provides accurate and straightforward navigation with axial alignment, resection depth and range of motion analysis.
Dr. Eric Slotkin (Reading, Pa.), was the first surgeon to perform Naviswiss Hip cases with Ortho Development implants and was also one of the first two surgeons to perform Naviswiss Knee cases as part of a limited release. “I now have the opportunity to pair well-designed implants that I trust with enabling technology that I value. This combination allows me to provide the best orthopedic care to enhance patient outcomes.”
Naviswiss Hip is now commercially available with Ortho Development implants, including Entrada, Ovation, Ovation Tribute, and Legend. The full U.S. launch of Naviswiss Knee is planned to be rolled out across orthopedic centers in the latter half of this year.
Ortho Development Corporation designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic implants and related surgical instruments. The company's principal product focus is total knee and hip joint replacement.
Naviswiss develops and manufactures miniaturized navigation systems that yield immediate results, simplify workflows, improve quality and minimize the time and cost of surgical procedures.
