Sunrise, Fla.-based OrthoSensor has developed a device to provide real-time data to orthopedic surgeons during knee replacement surgery, according to the Miami Herald. This device could improve outcomes and reduce failures for knee replacements, which are becoming increasingly common.
OrthoSensor is in its fourth year and has raised $42 million in venture capital. The company has worked on other orthopedic implants, including units to transmit data to physicians on internal temperature, blood acidity levels and infection indicators.
The new device, the knee balancer, will aim to achieve more accurate implant placement and reduce the need for revision surgery.
