Smith+Nephew has launched its TOTAL ANKLE patient-matched guides to help plan and perform total ankle replacement (TAR) procedures.
 
The guides were engineered using 3D Systems’ VSP surgical planning workflows. The company said they were designed for a precise patient fit using fluoroscopic alignment cues and efficient instrumentation.
 
The integrated fluoroscopic cues, guide pins, and cut slot make the guide an all-in-one instrument. The guide also provides tactile feedback with medial arm wrap.
 
3D System’s VSP surgical planning solutions have supported over 175,000 patient-specific cases. The patient-matched guides are compatible with chamfer talar implants for Smith+Nephew’s Cadence total ankle and Salto Talaris total ankle prosthesis.
 
“We are excited to unveil our new TOTAL ANKLE Patient-Matched Guides for total ankle replacement—a breakthrough to help transform the way healthcare professionals approach surgical precision and improved patient outcomes,” said Mark McMahan, VP of marketing, Global Trauma & Extremities at Smith+Nephew. This advanced system is designed to offer unparalleled efficiency and accuracy, ultimately enhancing the overall experience for both surgeons and patients. The launch of our TOTAL ANKLE Patient-Matched Guides further strengthens our position as a leader in the total ankle replacement market segment.”
