Materialise and Consensus Orthopedics Expand Partnership

Materialise N.V., a Belgium-based provider of 3-D software and printing solutions, and Consensus Orthopedics Inc. are expanding their association.

El Dorado Hills, Calif.-based Consensus plans to use the Acetabular Cup Orientation (ACO) Hip Guide System from Materialise. In June, the companies announced a partnership using knee-imaging technology from Materialise.

The Materialise ACO Hip Guide System, a platform consisting of 3-D surgical planning software and patient-specific surgical guides for hip surgery, allows surgeons to predictably plan hip procedures based on the patient’s unique anatomy and structural damage. Based on that pre-operative plan, patient-specific guides are designed and 3-D printed for use during surgery.

Jeroen Dille, director of Materialise’s Clinical Unit, said: “Through this growing partnership, more surgeons will have access to 3-D planning and printing solutions, which ultimately means that more patients can benefit from this technology. Since the start of Materialise 25 years ago, our mission has been to create meaningful 3-D printing applications for a better and healthier world. This partnership is perfectly in line with that mission statement.”

“Surgical outcomes have a higher rate of predictability once our surgeons have access to preoperative planning and are able to use patient-specific guides based on a patient’s CT (computed tomography imaging),” said Colleen Gray, president and CEO of Consensus.
