Discover Knee+ NexSight
Advanced guidance for a knee replacement designed around you.
Your knee is unique, and your surgery should be too. Knee+ Nexsight helps your surgeon to perform your TKA based on your own body. It uses advanced technology to guide them during the operation, so everything is made just right for you.
Because you deserve the best care for a better life.
With Pixee technology, your knee replacement is guided by advanced augmented reality technology and tailored to your unique anatomy. The system gives your surgeon real-time visual information during surgery, helping support precise implant placement, reduce invasiveness and blood loss, and keep your care centered around you.
What is Total Knee Arthroplasty?
A total knee arthroplasty, or total knee replacement, is a common surgical procedure used to treat severe knee pain and stiffness, usually caused by arthritis or injury.
It’s usually considered when other treatments like medications, physical therapy, or injections are no longer effective.
In this surgery, the damaged parts of your knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components (prosthesis). These new parts are shaped to move like a natural knee, helping you walk, move, and do daily activities with less pain and ultimately improve your overall quality of life.
One of the most important steps in this surgery is placing the implant in the right position. When done precisely, it can improve how your knee feels, how well it moves, and how long it lasts. That’s exactly where Knee+ Nexsight comes in it helps your surgeon place the implant with great accuracy, tailored to your anatomy, for the best possible outcome.
Knee+ NexSight
Knee+ NexSight is a special tool that helps your surgeon during your knee replacement surgery. It’s kind of like a GPS, but for your knee!
Your surgeon wears augmented reality smart glasses that show helpful information right in front of their eyes to help them re-place your knee as best as possible. Your surgeon remains in full control the entire time, with extra guidance from the smart glasses.
A knee replacement with Knee+ NexSight is also less invasive than traditional surgery, and it does not require extra scans or large machines. And the best part? The precise results are similar to those achieved with a robot.
Knee+ NexSight helps your surgeon give you the best care, so you can feel better and get back to doing the things you love.
Benefits
Safety & Control
During surgery, your surgeon wears smart glasses that display helpful information in real time. The technology supports your surgeon’s decisions, but your surgeon remains fully in control of your personalized care.
Less invasive approach
Knee+ NexSight supports a less invasive approach than conventional knee replacement techniques, with benefits such as reduced blood loss. With no violation of the intramedullary canal and no pin holes outside of the incision, your safety is a priority. This means less trauma to your bone and tissue.
Personalized Care
Every knee is unique. Knee+ NexSight helps your surgeon personalize your knee replacement based on your anatomy, supporting an implant designed for how your knee should feel, move, and function. Using Augmented Reality, helpful visual guides are overlaid directly on to the surgeon’s view of your knee, for a tailored and accurate approach.
No radiation exposure
Most robotic systems require a preoperative CT scan, which exposes you to additional radiation. Knee+ NexSight eliminates the need for this, helping to reduce your overall exposure to medical imaging.
More precise than conventional surgery
Knee+ NexSight gives patients access to precise surgical augmented reality guidance without extra scans or a robot performing the procedure. Precise placement means a knee that feels more natural, moves more freely, and holds up over time. Knee+ NexSight helps your surgeon work with greater precision, supporting more reliable results and greater confidence in your recovery journey.
