"I am pleased to announce our collaboration with THINK Surgical in the US Market," stated Matt Goudy, Managing Director and President of Medacta USA. "This partnership marks another step forward in our commitment to offering cutting-edge technologies that drive sustainable innovation forward and enhance our ability to deliver personalized solutions for surgeons and patients worldwide." The THINK Surgical TMINI system, when combined with GMK Sphere and GMK SpheriKA, adds further value to MyKA, the most comprehensive platform to safely and reproducibly perform Kinematic Alignment total knee replacement. Moreover, it complements the Medacta portfolio of enabling technologies designed for knee arthroplasty, providing surgeons with a robotic-assisted option to execute meticulous 3D CT-based preoperative planning. This system will complement the MySolutions Personalized Ecosystem, a network of advanced digital solutions designed to improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency during the entire episode of care.
