Enovis has expanded its EMPOWR Revision Knee system to include EMPOWR Cones, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared earlier this year.

The stackable tibial, femoral, and diaphyseal cones increases options for treating bone defects, thereby creating a more complete portfolio to support complex revision needs. “The introduction of the EMPOWR Revision Knee fills a current market need for more efficient revision options, especially with growing interest in outpatient revision knee procedures,” said Louie Vogt, president of Enovis’ Reconstructive Business Group. “Now with the addition of the EMPOWR Cones, surgeons are better able to tailor revision surgeries with a modernized workflow and no decision fatigue.” 
 
The EMPOWR Revision Knee system is designed to redefine revision knee arthroplasty through a streamlined setup that reduces clutter in the operating room while allowing surgeons to fine-tune implant fit to each patient. EMPOWR’s femoral and tibial stackable augments can be used both medially and laterally to minimize excess inventory. The multifunctional instrumentation keeps the surgeon’s back table efficiently organized, streamlining revision procedures.
 
“With the addition of the EMPOWR Cones, I now have the added flexibility to help more patients with their knee revision needs,” said Leonard T. Buller, M.D., a hip and knee surgeon at Indiana University Health. “The cones were easy to ream, fit as planned, and the dimensions are ideal for accommodating the widest spectrum of implants.”
 
Beau J. Kildow, M.D., of University of Nebraska Medical Center, used Enovis’ EMPOWR Cones for the first time and said the procedure “…went very smooth. Even the femoral cone prep was simple, more so than the leading competitive brand and sat line to line.”
 
Enovis Corporation develops clinically differentiated solutions that generate measurably better patient outcomes and transform workflows. The company’s products, services, and integrated technologies fuels active lifestyles in orthopedics and beyond.
