Exactech has launched its next-generation hardware and software for the ExactechGPS guided personalized surgery system. ExactechGPS now features wireless connectivity for more interconnected data, case management, and technology integration.
New proprietary camera technology enables state-of-the-art visibility and stability, allowing straightforward incorporation into surgeon-specific and operating room workflows. ExactechGPS is still available with no capital expense, allows full surgeon control and accessibility in the sterile field, and maintains a small footprint—making it amenable to ambulatory surgery centers. ExactechGPS currently supports both knee and shoulder applications, with future expansion planned.
Orthopedic surgeon Pierre-Henri Flurin, M.D., recently completed the first case with the upgraded system in Europe. Kansas surgeons Scott Adrian, M.D., and Jacob Deister, M.D., performed the first cases in the U.S. last week.
Dr. Adrian told the press, “As a young orthopedic surgeon, ExactechGPS assists me through its guidance for implant placement. To me, it’s an important tool that supports my goal of providing excellent care for each of my patients.”
Dr. Deister reported, "I've been using ExactechGPS for three years now, in close to 500 surgeries. The upgrades are an exciting addition to a system that I value greatly for everyday cases as well as my complicated joint replacements."
These ExactechGPS upgrades will occur throughout 2021 at no cost.
ExactechGPS is a foundational technology that powers Exactech’s Active Intelligence platform. The company is aggressively expanding this portfolio of uniquely accessible smart solutions to help surgeons engage with patients and peers, solve challenges with predictive tools, and optimize the way they perform surgery.
