Medtech company Smith+Nephew and Enhatch, a provider of AI-powered preoperative planning options, partnered with 3D Systems, a 3D printing company.
The workflows for Smith+Nephew’s total ankle patient-match guides, which are managed through Enhatch’s portal, will use 3D System’s designed guides during total ankle replacement procedures, according to an April 1 news release.
The partnership will allow surgeons to improve accuracy and efficiency during the procedures, leading to better patient outcomes.
