With its acquisition of Blue Belt Technologies, a global leader in surgical robotics, the U.K.-based medical equipment manufacturer Smith & Nephew will introduce Blue Belt’s Navio surgical system in India for the first time.
This surgical system currently provides robotics-assistance in unicondylar or partial knee replacement surgery through CT-free navigation software and a unique hand-held, robotic bone-shaping device.
The company intends to expand the Navio platform into total knee, bi-cruciate retaining knee, and revision knee implants, reports Business Standard.
