The upgraded software allows surgeons to be more accurate, precise and efficient while having greater control and flexibility, according to a May 22 news release. 

The system also includes a new database that stores critical information, giving the surgeon a clearer image of how the alignment will be positioned. 

Patients also benefit from the software, as less anesthesia and tourniquet time is required in each procedure. 

Only a limited number of health systems were given early access to the software, the release said. 

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.
