VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution
The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution uses infrared imaging, optical tracking and other advanced features to help surgeons tailor a knee replacement to a patient’s body. During the procedure, the technology gathers information about your knee to identify the best-fitting implant.
VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution uses ATTUNE Knee System implants, which have been used in more than 1.5 million patients worldwide. The system provides accuracy and real-time decision making without the need for CT scans, reducing cost and procedure time.
VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution is designed to:
- Assist but not replace your surgeon in removing the damaged bone with the highest degree of accuracy. The system’s robotic device does not operate or move on its own.
- Achieve the highest level of precision by providing your surgeon with important insights for real-time decision making.
Patient Benefits of VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution
VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution offers a number of patient benefits over traditional joint replacement surgery, including:
- A greater range of motion in your ability to bend and flex your knee after surgery.
- Less pain after surgery.
- Faster recovery times (reduced length of hospital stay and fewer hospital readmissions and follow-up visits).
VELYS Hip Navigation
The goal of hip replacement is to get you back to an active lifestyle with the least amount of pain. In a total hip replacement surgery, doctors replace the diseased or damaged hip with an implant consisting of a stem, ball, liner and acetabular cup.
The VELYS Hip Navigation helps surgeons maximize the accuracy and precision of this type of surgery, personalizing and optimizing patient care before, during and after the procedure. During hip replacement surgery assisted by VELYS Hip Navigation, a picture called a fluoroscopic image is taken of your hip and analyzed in real time, allowing your surgeon to achieve the best alignment and placement of the hip implants.
Benefits of VELYS Hip Navigation include:
- Real-time data is used to increase accuracy and surgical reproducibility.
- Reduced procedure time in comparison to traditional hip replacement surgery.
- Improved patient outcomes.
