Johnson & Johnson MedTech released the VIRTUGUIDE System in the U.S. This AI-powered, patient-matched solution is designed to support Lapidus procedures. The system uses pre-operative planning software, developed in collaboration with PeekMed, to assess each patient’s bunion and make personalized recommendations for the intended correction.
Early users of VIRTUGUIDE estimated procedural time savings of at least 30 minutes when using the system compared to their previous technique.
“The VIRTUGUIDE System is a pivotal advancement in AI-powered surgical precision for treating bunion deformitiesāa common, painful, and potentially debilitating condition affecting nearly one-third of Americans,” said Oray Boston, Worldwide President of Trauma, Extremities, Craniomaxillofacial, Animal Health and Sports Medicine, Orthopaedics, Johnson & Johnson MedTech. “This milestone marks an important step forward, as VIRTUGUIDE becomes the latest addition to our growing portfolio of VELYS Enabling Tech solutions. By automating surgical planning and tailoring instrumentation to each patient, the system helps reduce complexity in the operating room and helps surgeons to achieve the intended correction.”
