The device is handheld and is used for component positioning in total and partial hip and knee repalcements, OrthAlign said in a Dec. 5 news release. OrthAlign weighs seven ounces and is a single-use device. It comes in a single tray and can shorten operating room time and reduce patient and surgeon costs.

Twenty-five surgeons at HSS use the technology.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
