Exactech introduces new balancing technology for knee replacement patients

Exactech, a global medical technology leader, announced the availability of new balancing technology for patients in need of total knee replacement surgery. The ‘Newton knee procedure’ used the ExactechGPS computer-assisted technology. The Newton knee procedure provides surgeons visual guidance for personalized, balanced results.

Accurate positioning and balance of knee replacements is important to the success and longevity of the implant. Exactech's new balancing technology allows surgeons to see patients' joints in real-time to place the implant precisely. Combined with Exactech knee implants, featuring advanced 3D printing technology and the latest generation polyethylene insert that incorporates vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, Exactech is on the forefront of high-tech knee replacement surgery.

Adam Hayden, Exactech CMO and SVP of Large Joints said, "Our new Exactech technology combined with a full platform of advanced implants are designed to work together to provide stability and function, with the goal of giving patients exactly what they need to regain their mobility."
