The introduction of Pixee Medical’s Kneeᐩ NexSight system marks a pivotal moment in orthopedic surgery by bringing advanced augmented reality (AR) navigation to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). As the first FDA-approved AR system for TKA in the U.S., it eliminates the need for costly robotics and CT-based planning. Designed in collaboration with U.S. surgeons, Kneeᐩ NexSight enhances surgical precision and efficiency while preserving the flexibility of implant choice. This innovation supports the growing shift toward outpatient and ambulatory surgical care by offering high-end guidance in a compact, easy-to-integrate format.

Kneeᐩ NexSight seamlessly integrates into existing workflows without disrupting the surgeon’s routine. The system consists of a wearable headset that provides real-time, intraoperative AR visualizations, enabling accurate implant alignment and bone preparation. Unlike traditional robotic systems, it avoids the use of percutaneous pins or intramedullary rods, minimizing invasiveness and enhancing patient recovery. Its intuitive design reduces the need for additional staff or capital-intensive infrastructure, making it especially valuable in Ambulatory Surgical Centers where space, cost, and speed are critical.

The successful completion of the first U.S. procedure with Kneeᐩ NexSight validates its clinical potential and readiness for broader adoption. By combining the accuracy of robotic systems with the efficiency and adaptability of AR, Pixee Medical has delivered a solution that meets both surgical and economic demands. As it expands across outpatient settings nationwide, Kneeᐩ NexSight is poised to redefine the standard of care in total knee replacements—offering a new level of precision, patient comfort, and procedural accessibility.
