Advanced handheld robotics for precise, personalized knee replacement with Real Intelligence software and no preoperative CT scans.
Smith & Nephew develops the CORI Surgical System, a portable, surgeon-controlled handheld robotics platform for total and partial knee arthroplasty. The system uses Real Intelligence software to deliver real-time intraoperative data without preoperative CT or MRI scans. It is indicated for degenerative knee disease (e.g., osteoarthritis) and is used globally by orthopedic surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers. Key differentiators include minimal OR footprint, accuracy, reduced radiation exposure, and customization for both unicompartmental and total knee replacements.
