Exactech announced first surgeries with its ExactechGPS Ankle technology. GPS Ankle will be available more extensively to hospitals and ASC centers without capital cost starting early next year.
GPS Ankle connects the preoperative plan with real-time intraoperative instrument guidance and confirms that resections meet the surgical plan. Based on preclinical bench testing and sawbones studies, it reports an accuracy of 2mm and 2 degrees relative to the CT surgical plan. Its integrated CT visibility may also reduce potential fluoroscopy time.
The system, developed by Exactech subsidiary Blue Ortho, uses proprietary active tracker technology and a compact touchscreen tablet in the sterile field to provide surgeons with dynamic intraoperative feedback throughout their cases.
GPS Ankle is compatible with Exactech’s Vantage Total Ankle and is art of the company’s Active Intelligence dynamic ecosystem of enabling technologies and smart solutions.
“The launch of GPS Ankle highlights our ongoing commitment to providing innovative, industry-leading smart solutions for surgeons and their patients,” said Exactech President and CEO Darin Johnson. “GPS Ankle and our full suite of Active Intelligence technologies reinforce our drive to provide transformative smart solutions to help surgeons perform complex procedures.”
