WHY USE PIXEE MEDICAL KNEE+ AUGMENTED REALITY FOR TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY?

Pixee Medical Knee+ is a patented platform created to assist orthopedic surgeons to perform accurate surgeries1-4 by providing real-time positioning of instruments right within their field of view via smart glasses.

Knee+ is intuitive and requires minimal training since it does not impact the technique for most surgeons who use a conventional technique but have never utilized navigation or robots. Our mission at MicroPort is to help the patient achieve Full Function, Faster® and the enhanced precision and efficiency this technology provides will help to ensure this happens.
