SACRAMENTO, CA – CUREXO Technology Corporation announced Monday it will launch ROBODOC, its new robotic orthopaedic surgical application at the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Conference at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Feb. 25-27.
CUREXO officials said for the first time the company will display the accuracy of ROBODOC through active demonstrations of hip and knee replacement surgeries. In addition, Dr. William Bargar, assistant clinical professor at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of California Davis School of Medicine will be sharing his clinical experiences using the system.
"I am very pleased to share my experience using ROBODOC with interested surgeons at the AAOS," Bargar said. "The ROBODOC system allows surgeons to be very accurate. By preoperatively planning and being able to execute what you plan, you can now address issues such as implant fit and sizing, as well as off-set and leg length which are very important in terms of how the hip functions. The system allows you to not only plan the surgery better, but more importantly, you can execute the plan with sub-millimeter accuracy."
Brent D. Mittelstadt, president and CEO of CUREXO said, "While the System has been in use for many years having completed more than 24,000 surgeries around the world, now with our recent FDA clearance for total hip arthroplasty, we can offer our products to U.S. surgeons. In addition, we are further developing strong technical and marketing initiatives, and are prepared to move forward into the U.S. market."
