CUVIS-joint

Optimal surgical planning and precise cutting

CUVIS-joint

is a cutting-edge surgical robot system that improves the completion of artificial joint surgery with optimal surgical planning and precise cutting.

With optimal tracking sensors and self-developed surgical planning CUVIS-joint helps patients that are in need of artificial knee surgery.

Why CUVIS-joint is good?

  • Point. 01

    Personalized pre-planning

    As each person has a different face, the shape of bone is also different. CUREXO’s artificial joint surgical robot shows the patient’s bone in 3D images, and the doctor can use those images for pre-planning of surgery personalized for the patient.

  • Point. 02

    Pre-selection of artificial joint and precise insertion of artificial joint

    What’s as important as the precise surgical plan is to select and insert the personalized artificial joint. The doctor uses the robot to select the artificial joint for the patient and insert it accurately.

  • Point. 03

    Precise cutting for submillimeter dimensional accuracy and optimum alignment

    Precise cutting serves the optimum result.
    CUREXO’s robotic artificial joint surgery system provides the correct alignment of a patient’s leg axis with the submillimeter dimensional accuracy and precise cutting for the optimal surgical outcome.

  • Point. 04

    Reduction of side effect and reoperation

    CUREXO’s robotic artificial joint surgery reduces such side effects as inequality of limb length, pulmonary embolism, and fracture. The risk of infection is also reduced by using fewer instruments than in conventional surgery.

Robotic artificial joint surgery

Clinical Result

According to the long-term research on the relocation of hip joint (hip bone), the insertion of more precise artificial joint (implant) provides the appropriate weight load, thus stimulating*1 the bone growth and decreasing the loss of bone density*2.
