Smith+Nephew announced an agreement with NAVBIT to exclusively distribute the NAVBIT SPRINT in Australia.
A single-use, sterile navigation system with everything provided in a small carton, NAVBIT SPRINT is designed to be suitable and cost efficient for hospitals and day surgery environments. This exclusive distribution builds upon the agreement Smith+Nephew announced for Japan in 2023.
NAVBIT SPRINT has two product variants: for supine and for lateral patient positions.
“In the past, surgery was more art than science. Today we have higher expectations around the accuracy and precision of our surgery,” said Professor Bill Walter, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Founder of NAVBIT. “Outliers are becoming less acceptable to surgeons and to patients. Surgeons will have to answer the question: If there is a technology available that can make you more accurate, why are you not using it?”
“We are seeing the positive impact that NAVBIT SPRINT offers our customers in Japan and look to experience the same results in the Australian market,” noted Kenneth Garcia, Senior Vice President and General Manager, International for Smith+Nephew. “Many customers are seeking innovative solutions for THA planning and execution and NAVBIT will help us serve that specific market segment.”
