ConforMIS | iTotal CR
ConforMIS is known for its individually sized and shaped arthroplasty
products. Its latest total knee replacement implant is the iTotal CR
(cruciate-retaining). Here's how it works: You first send a CT scan of
the patient's hip or knee to the company, which uses those images to
design the femoral and tibial components to match the patient's
anatomy. The company says the iTotal CR offers a superior fit to off-
the-shelf implants, and eliminates underhang or overhang problems
that can leave patients complaining of pain or lack of free motion. It
also reduces the number of intraoperative steps and requires only 1
tray of reusable instruments.
It's also convenient that the implant, along with the other supplies
you need for the surgery, arrives in a single box that's been designed
for your patient, simplifying case set-up. Each box includes a dispos-
able jig designed from the patient's CT scan, along with sterilized
instruments and a choice of polys.
