Here are five key points:
1. Houston Methodist Hospital acquired Blue Belt technologies’ Navio Surgical System about one year ago. The device is used to help surgeons perform precise and accurate partial knee replacement surgeries.
2. The Blue Belt Technologies Navio technology for partial knee replacements utilizes an advanced CT-free intraoperative registration, planning and navigation platform to assist the surgeon in building patient-specific surgical plans.
3. The Navio robotic handpiece assists the surgeon in preparing bone with the precision of robotics in a hand-held, freehand sculpting technique.
4. With no preoperative scan required, the Navio system integrates easily into existing knee-replacement workflows, which allows the patient to receive the benefits of robotic assistance without additional time spent for preoperative procedures. Instead, the surgeon registers the patient during the procedure using kinematic reconstruction and anatomic landmarks.
5. Blue Belt Technologies is a global leader in surgical robotics, developing and commercializing next-generation robotics-assisted technologies for use in orthopedic surgery and other specialties.
