Medacta Group SA has entered into a partnership with THINK Surgical to provide its robotic, wireless hand-held TMINI Miniature Robotic System for total knee replacement surgery supporting both GMK Sphere and GMK SpheriKA, the world’s first knee implant designed specifically for Kinematic Alignment. 
 
The THINK Surgical TMINI system, when combined with GMK Sphere and GMK SpheriKA, adds further value to MyKA, the most comprehensive platform to safely and reproducibly perform Kinematic Alignment total knee replacement. It complements the Medacta portfolio of enabling technologies designed for knee arthroplasty, providing surgeons with a robotic-assisted option to execute meticulous 3D CT-based preoperative planning. 
 
“I am pleased to announce our collaboration with THINK Surgical in the US Market,” stated Matt Goudy, Managing Director and President of Medacta USA. “This partnership marks another step forward in our commitment to offering cutting-edge technologies that drive sustainable innovation forward and enhance our ability to deliver personalized solutions for surgeons and patients worldwide.”
 
This system will complement the MySolutions Personalized Ecosystem, a network of advanced digital solutions designed to improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency during the entire episode of care. This includes the flagship NextAR Augmented Reality Surgical Platform, a unique system that leverages patient-specific data to complement operative workflows, as well as MyKnee Patient Matched Technology and Efficiency KneePack, which is successfully used to provide patient-specific cutting blocks, single-use instrumentation, and implants in a single, one-time use kit.
 
While the MySolutions Ecosystem remains central to Medacta’s technology focus, the partnership with THINK Surgical will allow for the continued evaluation of robotics in the U.S. market, as well as Medacta’s specialized focus in the rapidly growing Ambulatory Surgery Center segment, in particular.
