 The LIFT implant is designed to eliminate the need for knee replacement. It elevates and realigns the patella tendon, decreases compressive foorces and shifts patellar tracking towards healthier cartilage.

The system includes trial spacers, a PEEK implant, titanium bone screws, K-wires and a proprietary positioning instrument.

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.
