The device helps surgeons measure ligament tension in the knee before cutting bone, according to a news release. This helps reduce variability when balancing the knee insurgery and makes planning more objective.

The Cori digital tensioner is the first device of its kind and automatically collects gap data at a specified force through full range of motion.

Bertrand Kaper, MD, performed the first commercial procedure with the Cori digital tensioner.

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.
